Las Vegas, Nevada Las Vegas Courier February 12, 1947 Solution Sought To Las Vegas Water Problem The Garrett, Bloomfield, Co., f Denver, Colo., has been selected by unanimous vote of the Chamber of Commerce to facilitate a j legislative program in Carson City that will help solve the city’s pressing water problem. The Denver firm, financial and. I engineering program experts, is a research and advisory agency i that undertakes legislative reme- ! dies for community needs. A. C. Grant, subcommittee ! chairman of the Chamber’s industrial division, proposed the choice. I More Water for Vegas The firm, operating on a no- j fee basis, will survey the possibility of extending current unused waterpipe from one-time j BMI water sources, it is believed water in large quantities can be I brought to Las Vegas. This water would not be used, Chamber officials pointed out, for agricultural ends solely but chiefly for supplying an adequate urban water system. Water Lift System-' The need and adaptation of a water lift system for the extension will also be. studied and implemented by the surveying firm, i At a special meeting Friday night under Chamber auspices, C. I D. Baker, state senator from Clark county, initiated the discussion which led to last night’s action. The senator pledged his legis-! lative support for the water sup-} ply program.
