Question: Will persons other than land owners be eligible to vote on the water question? Answer: All registered voters in the district will be eligible whether they own property or not. Question: Should the Las Ve­gas water system be purchased, what would the district use for money and would all property in all districts stand as security for the purchase price? Answer: Any purchases made by the district, either of water systems, installation of pipe lines or whatever, would be financed by revenue bonds. That means only the assets and revenues of the district would be security. A^l property in the districts would NOT in any way be pledged. This type' of bond issue was used at the inception of the Lincoln county power district. Construc­tion of transmission lines, sub­stations, and distribution sys­tems was financed through the issuance of revenue bonds and these facilities plus the monthly revenues from sale of power stood as the sole security behind the issue, which is now well on its way toward being retired. uture
