T H O R N W I L L I A M L . R O S E V E A R PERSONAL Mr. E. E. Bennett General Solicitor Union Pacific Railroad Company 422 West Sixth Street Los Angeles 14, California Dear Ed: In response to your October 27 letter I am enclosing copies of the following: (1) Opinion rendered under date of October 4 , 1955, by Leo A . McNamee, local District counsel, holding that the prohibition against using water meters in towns and cities having 4500 inhabitants or more, does not apply to the Las Vegas Valley Water District. (2) Opinion dated October 20, 1955, rendered by the law firm of O'Melveny & Myers, District Bond Counsel, which holds that th^^/tPno limitation on the power of the Water District to install water meters within that portion of the territory of the District included withmTReTlioundaries of the City of Las Vegas and to establish and collect metered water rates and charges therein. (3) Copy of my October 24, 1955 letter to Attorney General Harvey Dickerson transmitting Items (1) and (2) above. Actually, your name was on the list to receive these items which were mailed out the first of this week. Apparently, there was an oversight in the mailing department over at the District O ffice and I am calling this to their attention. Because we have tried to keep you fully informed on all developments. Very confidentially, in this morning's (Saturday) mail Attorney General Dickerson's opinion was received. I am very happy to inform you in advance of the news release which will not be made
