On motion of Commissioner Marble seconded by Commissioner Perry it was moved and carried that a telegram in the following form be forwarded to Senators Pittman and McCarran and Congressman Scrugham, and to Postoffice Conference Committee; and Senate and House Committees: Form of telegram, Las Vegas is extremely anxious to procure mail and passenger route from San Francisco via Las Vegas to Albuquerque. House and Senate conferences are about to convene to allot and earmark funds so that postoffice will advertise for new mail routes. It will be of inestimable benefit to Las Vegas if some major airline should establish this route, which has been approved by I C C.
