    At this time the following communication was presented to the Board: Carson City, Nevada, July 5,1922. Hon, F.A. Stevens, City Attorney Las Vegas, Nevada. Dear Mr. Stevens: In the matter of the water service furnished by S.W. Craner to residents of Buck's Addition, it appears that under t the circumstances Mr. Craner cannot be legally compelled to furnish any auxilary apparatus to maintain the water pressure in the distribution lines. It appears entirely practicable to install a small centrifugal pump and motor, at some point on the water line, which will give adequate pressure and service to the more distant points. The cost of this outfit would probably be about $150 which should properly be borne by the beneficiaries. While technically Mr. Craner is operating a public util­ity, practically an order to him to force installation of pressure devices could be resisted on the ground that it would require an investment incommensurate with the plant he is operating. If those who are suffering from lack of water are willing to subscribe the amount necessary to install the pressure pump, this office will undertake to make the necessary plans and measurements requisite for the installation. Very truly yours Public Service Commission of Nevada By J.G. Scrugham, Commissioner Foll owed a discussion between the members of the Board and residents of Buck's Addition. The latter expressed themselves as unwilling to bear the expense of patting in a pressure pump under present existing circumstances, and the City Attorney was directed to carry on further corres­pondence with the Public Service Commission, with the idea of reaching some satisfactory settlement of the difficulty. Pending the absence of L.R. Hilkie, Sewer Inspector, Sewer and Light Commissioner Gorton was directed to perform the duties of said Sewer Inspector, on motion of Commissioner Hodgens seconded by Commissioner Arnold. Voting Commissioners Hodgens, Arnold, and Gorton Aye. Noes, none. There being no further business to come before the Board at this time, it was ordered upon motion of Commissioner Hodgens, seconded by Commissioner Arnold that the Board adjourn until Wednesday, the 2nd day of August, A.D. 1922, at the hour of seven o'clock p.m. Voting Commissioners Hodgens, Arnold, and Gorton, Aye. Noes, none.
