Las Vegas - August 17, 1953 W 23-6 Mr. £. 1. Bennett - Los Angeles Please refer to your letter dated August 13, 1953 File 80-12, submitting copy of Mr. Alleys letter to you dated August 10, 1953* X am submitting herewith a one page tabulation which shows & comparison of Railroad,billa against the Industries which are now served by Water Company for the period November 1952 to April 1953, with the Las Vegas Land #s Water Company tariff charge per month for August 1953* Ihls tabulation indicates that the bill against most of these industries will be raised slightly and that four of them will deceive a alight decrease. Mr. J. R. Henderson, dba Las Vegas Building Materials will be raised #15.97 over M s April bill which is made up of the charges indicated on the attached copy of my letter to him dated August 11, 1953* The charge against Mr. Henderson is m a d e u p o n the same identical basis as the charge against the Young & Smith Ready Mix Concrete Company, both'plants having a capacity in excess over 2500 cu. yds., for’ whibh te charge of 150.00 is made under rate number 55A which.was approved by the Public Service Commission of Nevada as.Indicated, in their letter to the Las Vegas Land and Water Company dated November 28, 1952 and which became effective September 1, 1951. Mr. Henderson’s competitor, the Young & Smith Ready Mix Concrete Company whose plant falls within the same tariff bracket as Mr. Hendersons’, is now paying at the rate of #50‘.00„ per month for the bulk plant, which is,the same rate being charged" Mr. Henderson as indicated on the attached copy of my letter and 1 see no reason why Mr. Henderson should be given different treatment than the Young and Smith concern, since to do so would again open up the question as to. the rate to be charged Young and Smith which involved a public hearing and voluminous correspondence. Incidentally the Young and Smith concern was never served toy the Railroad Company, but have always been served by the Water CoMpany. We have no other situations where industries have made complaint about the increase in their water bill over that previously paid under Railroad operation. E nds. LRMtrr 1953
