Butterfield Vice President, Las Vegas Valley Water District Bank of Nevada Las Vegas, Nevada Dear Mr. Butterfields Recently, Mr. Bennett has provided our office with a copy of the opinion and order of the Public Service Commission of Nevada (Case No. 1214) concerning the application of the Las Vegas Land and Water Company to permit the Company to refuse to make further extensions of its watsr mains within the City of Las Vegas. The relief requested by the Water Company was denied by the Public Service Commission. However, the opin­ion of the Commission in the above case contained the same language as was contained in the opinion of the Commission on the application for the Charleston Heights extension. In its latest order, the Commission finds ”that any capital expenditures made by the Company under Rule 9 should be added to the total figure evidenced in its agreement with the Las Vegas Valley Water District.'' It appears to us that the Water District 3hould contact the Public Service Commission concerning its practice of making provisions for ad­ditional amounts to be paid by the Las Vegas Valley Water District in * r»f* m3T*ahji.&@.
