Gentlemen:- Some time a go an occasion arose in which it was quite essential that the City have a brass band. Since there are in the City a number of men who have had band experience it was possible to organize such a band for that occasion. Occasions arise in every city when such an organization is needed and we hope this will be particularly true of Las Vegas in the next year or two. The individual band men of the City would be glad to give their time for practice but hardly feel that they can stand the expense of music, rent etc. Therefore the Las Vegas Municipal and asks the city commissioners to help defray the expense of rent and music to and amount not to exceed fourteen dollars per month. Respectfully submitted, Giles Morrison, Manager. Las Vegas Municipal Band. By Ferris Doolittle, Secy.
