E C O N D A N D F R E M O N T S T R E E T S , L A S V E G A S , N E V A D A September 4, 1952 Las Vegas Land & Water Company 401 South Second Street Las Vegas, Nevada Attention: W. H. Johnson Acting General Manager Reference is made to your letter dated August 29, 1952, and the accompanying invoice No. 255, dated September 2, 1952, requesting payment in the amount of $1456.00, which you allege represents cooling water for refrigeration machines for the period of January 1 to and including August 31, 1952. We dispute the basis and amount of the above-mentioned invoice for the reasons set forth in our letter dated August 15, 1952 and again contend that: First: No amount is payable when the cooling system is not in use. Second: It appears that the description "refrigeration machines" covers ice making equipment instead of cooling systems. Third: The rate is excessive based on the actual water consumed. Under date of August 11, 1952, we filed a letter of protest with the Public Service Commission of Nevada and it is understood they will conduct a hearing in Las Vegas during the current month regarding the matter and we are withholding payment of your bill until such time as we receive a decision from the Nevada Public Service Commission. Dear Sir Very truly yours GOLDEN NUGGET, INC CCK:ef retary
