Allards You will recall that a hearing m s held in the above matter in Las Vegas on September 20th and 21st and during the course of the hearing it was suggested by Hr. Shamberger that possibly a temporary solution of the shortage of water during peak summer months could be effected by the installation of pumps on some of the wells of the Las Vegas Land and Hater Company. He suggested that possibly such pumps should be put on Hells Nos. 9 and 10 and that, in his opinion, a resulting increase of production would be around three to three and a half million gallons per day (with a draw-down of 25 or 30 ft) and an increased production if the draw-down were lowered. The transcript of record indicates that the Hater Company agreed to Install pumps on certain of Its wells in order to make tests of the increased production and to make a preliminary report to your Commission January 1, 1951 advising you of the results of those teste. With that understanding, the hearing was ad­journed pending the submission of the report and such further action as the Commission or the City of Las Vegas decided to take.
