    Mr. Ma. Reinhardt! (cc - Mr. E. E. Bennett) proposed formal hearing to be held by the Public Service Commission regarding the adequacy of the Las Vegas water supply. I enclose copy of letter from the Fire Underwriters covering a recent investigation of fire protection facilities at Las Vegas, and their recommendations have discussed this report with the fire chief, and while we are not obligated to follow out in full each of the recommendations, nevertheless our degree of compliance will have a definite bearing on the fire insurance rates in Las Vegas. Centrally speak-ing, we have followed the first five recommendations listed under "Water Supply" with the exception of item 2, suggesting larger mains in the mercantile dis-trict. We can further analyse this subject as soon as the map which he mentions is available. A. M. Folger Las Vegas, - August 4, 1949 W 23-3-4
