Files 4787-11-104 4705-11-22 August 25, 1952 Mr. Hobart A. Allan, Chairman Public Servico Commission Carson City, Kevada Dear Mr. Allant Rat X k S Socket Mo. 127 We have received copy of tha Commission's Opinion and Order of August 13, 1952, in I k S Docket Mo. 127, which authorises the Las Vegas Land and Water Company to increase its water rates 20$, effective for tha Sep­tember, 1952, billing. This order is now the effective order of the Commission in I k 8 Docket 127 and stands unless vacated or changed by the Court. It is our interpretation of the order that it be­came immediately effective at the time It was made on August 13, 1952, and that it authorised the Las Vegas Land and Water Company to put into effect the 20$ increase on September 1, 1952, without formal tariff publication. It is our intontlon to make the increase effective Sep­tember 1, 1952, in accordance with the order. However it is our understanding that ths Commission desires to havs tho Increase embodied in a tariff sched­ule. In accordance with our informal understanding with the Commission we have calculated the rates which will result as nearly as possible in a 20$ increase over the existing rates when adjustment is made to the nearest fivs cents and have embodied such rates in a tariff schedule which we are submitting herewith to tho Commis­sion for its consideration and approval.
