Transcription
\ Personal ( C O P Y ) Las Vegas - January 16, 1947 R 49 Mr. E. E. Bennett: Our conversation in Los Angeles January 14th: I learned that Senator G. D. Baker is leaving for Carson City today, preparing for the opening of State Legislature Monday, and arranged a private talk with him last night regarding the Water Meter law. Instead of reviving 1945 Senate Bill 146, to permit use of meters by utilities receiving their water from an artesian source, it might be better to move for outright repeal of the meter law, as I understand there is considerable sentiment up North for repeal and we would thus get support from the Reno utility and probably the Washoe delegation. Mr. Baker’s attitude was favorable. He is an experienced civil engineer, public educator and was Colonel in charge of extensive Army installations during the War in the Pacific. He is also chairman of the legislative committee of the Las Vegas Chamber of Commerce, and advised me the trend of, opinion in the Chamber is for repeal of the present meter law as a conservation measure for our natural resources.
