Transcription
Of the nine items for which we asked an increase of 20$ to 50$ only, we had only 35 actual users, with the exception of Stores. In regard to Stores, we debated several days as to the advisability of asking for a 100$ increase and, after considering that Stores use very little water, and this water is used principally in the toilets for which we asked an additional charge, and inasmuch as the Stores would pass this extra charge on to their customers, against whom we had already asked for a 100$ Increase, we deemed it advisable to ask only for a 50$ increase. A flat increase of 100$ on all classifications listed in the old schedule would have made the same more unbalanced and more unscientific than it was before and we knew that such a raise could not be justified before the Commission, upon a hearing of protests that were sure to follow. As it was we had good grounds for believing that the rates asked for would be approved without any protest. CC-Mr. falter R. Bracken Las Vegas, Nevada. LAMc-fmm
