Las Vegas City Commission Minutes, January 7, 1947 to October 26, 1949, lvc000006-479

447 subterfuge to obtain their rights. The traveling public is continually buying tickets to all points on the compass to avoid the restriction. Obviously this results in con­fusion, misunderstanding, and a waste of time and money for all parties concerned. The Civil Aeronautics Board, by maintaining the restriction, is encouraging the voi- lation of its own rules and regulations. The existing air service between Las Vegas and Los Angeles is wholly in­adequate to meet the requirements of the travelling public. The frequency of service and the seats available have been on the decline for the past several years, and there has been shown little disposition to stimulate the traffic. The only permanent cure to this situation is to provide a competing service. The City of Las Vegas respectfully pray your honorable Board, under the pert­inent sections of the Civil Aeronautics Act, as amended, to grant its petition for re­consideration, reargument, and rehearing of the City's application for the removal of the restrictions on TWA's Route 2 which prohibits the carriage of local passengers and property between Las Vegas and Los Angeles. Throughout this case, it has never been the City's intention to support or oppose an individual airline but rather to direct the City's efforts to correcting a situation which is contrary to public convenience and necessity.
