Re: I & S Docket No. 127 Los Angeles, February 3, 1952 4705-11-22 Mr. ¥. H. Johnson: (cc - Mr. Vfe. Reinhardt Mr. W. H. Hulsizer Mr. R. M. Sutton) I have filed a Petition for Rehearing with the Ne­vada Public Service Commission in the above mentioned case. If it is granted, we will wish to put in evidence a forecast of the result of operation of the Water Com­pany and the Railroad Company for the year 1952. I will ask Mr. Wehe to prepare this forecast based upon infor­mation to be furnished him by you and Mr. Sutton. Will you please furnish a statement showing the an­ticipated revenues in the year 1952 under present rates, also by months the anticipated number of new water users. Your estimate of revenue should be accompanied by a de­tailed explanation which will enable Mr• Wehe to make a final forecast. It will probably be necessary for you to come to Los Angeles for a conference with Mr. Wehe, which will undoubtedly be called on short notice. There­fore it will be appreciated if you will prepare the re­quested information as soon as possible. Will you also please furnish a written statement showing in some detail the duties performed by you and all of the forces under your supervision at Las Vegas# In our recent conference with Mr. Allen he was somewhat critical of the Las Vegas expenses of the Water Company. For one thing he indicated that he thought the supervis­ory expenses were excessive. We were not aW* |J' this matter with him in detail, but it is a ®a5tern?K°h will have to be gone into if a rehearing is had. wise he will not be satisfied as to the necessity;,the actual expenses incurred. It will be very helpful if 7 ? will provide a written explanation of the need for all of the forces, including the supervisors# a E. E. Bennett
