    L a s V e g a s , N e v a d a REVIEW - JOURNAL F e b r u a r y I I , 1 9 4 7 Water Survey Gets Okay Of Chamber The first step in the plan to provide a water district in the Vegas valley to utilize water from Lake Mead was taken to-, day when the chamber of com­merce approved the employ­ment of the Garrett-Bromfield company, of Denver, to make a preliminary survey of the situ­ation. The chamber ratified the ac­tion of the board of directors and it is expected that Fred F. Bar­ker, representative of the com­pany, will start work immediate­ly on whipping the project into shape. It was pointed out to the di­rectors, that there would be a tremendous amount of prelimi­nary work necessary to the for­mation of the water district,, es­pecially in setting up permissive I legislation. The company was hired on a basis of the chamber paying .only, the out-ofrpocket expense of the firm’s representative during the preliminary isrork, with an op­portunity of | getting a priority on the bond business if the pro­ject goes through.
