(Pop) Squires, an old time resident of Las Vegas | 4. Mr. Squires Press and Radio Release A preliminary meeting has been arranged for October 13 between the Water District, the 8.M.X. lessees, and CRC to discuss the report, but there are rumors that some of the lesees are not favorable to the proposal. Mr. Maxfleld is known around Las Vegas as a promoter of sinning ventures, but I have been unable to ascertain what private capital he represents.
