Ltr: g.W.Cragin to LVL&W Co 8-24-48 \ All of these establishments are vitally concerned over their fire protection , and in line with our conversation they have informed me if your Company would construct a line as far South as the Thunderbird Hotel (which has a value of nearly one million dollars) they would pay for the installation of this line and would pay you a standby charge for this protection and you would not be obligated to furnish any water except for fire purposes* They also state they will assist in having the County of Clark prepare and furnish to your Company a Franchise and said Franchise will not obligate you in any way to furnish water save and except for fire purposes* If we were to lose the EL Rancho Village, which is furnishing housing for citizens of Las Vegas, it would be & tremendous blow to our housing situation and particularly now with the Army coming in and asking us to house their officers and men* If there is any further information we can furnish you, please advise. Thanking you in advance for your:;consideration, I am, Tours very truly, /s/ 1. W, Cragirn /%/ E. V. Cragln, Mayor ~2~ m L
