July 7, 1950 W 23-1-B Mr. C. W. Shelley City Manager Las Vegas, Nevada Dear Mr. Shelley: Please refer to my letter April 17, with regard to placing 2 uniformed officers on duty for the period May 1 to September 13, to enforce the City Ordinance prohibiting the waste of water. We have not yet received the bills covering their services for the months of May and June. Will you kindly have these sent to me for voucher. In this connection, the fore part of this year, a house-to-house check was made of each subdivision in the City to determine whether coolers and water cooled refrigeration machines were equipped with recapture devices as required by Chapter 37 of the Las Vegas Code. A copy of this report was furnished your office and also that of the City Clerk showing the exceptions noted. It was my understanding that the Special Officers would systematically check each of the exceptions noted, (regarding which we notified each owner in writing.) Will be glad to learn the progress of this recheck. It has been my observation that these officers are doing an excellent job. The result of their efforts is apparent from streets that were never dry before which, in the long run, saves the taxpayers considerable money in street repairs as well as the saving in water which was previously wasted. However, the high inflow at the new City Disposal Plant indicates there is still considerable missionary work to be done on the water cooled refrigeration machines in the business district. Very truly yours, General Manager
