MR. CAHNOH* I object. It's speculative| it’s irreva- lent and assuming facts not before the Commission at this timo I®. BEJfffRTT* The district has been going for three years, and I don’t know what they have done, and I think it’s a reasonable assumption that they are not going to do very much unless someone puts the heat on them. MR. CAHRQNs Mr. Shamberger is not In a position to state what the State Engineer will do in two or three years. Re might not be in the State Engineer’s office then. It is purely speculation. 5®. BISIETfs I can’t see that this is speculative. That would be the duty of the Engineer’s office to prevent the waste of water. CKAIKMAR5 You may answer the question. A. The question can be answered as It has many times before—that we would restrict drilling. MR. BEHEST?s Q. Mr. Shamberger, are you familiar, In a general way, with the actual water conditions in the City of Las Vegas itself with respect to normal demand and supplies and peak demand and supplies? A. Hot too well—only what I gathered here at the hearing and heard in other ways. I have made no particular study.
