Transcription
Page 3 ~ News Release is instituted to prevent meter installation the District will assert and defend its right to provide metered water service® If a court holds that the District is without power to install meters within the City of Las Vegas, then it is the intention of the Board of Directors to seek the necessary legislation to authorize the District to install meters therein,n During the 1955 legislative session the Clark County delegation sponsored an amendment to the water district enabling act designed to permanently eliminate any possible question concerning the legality of installing water meters in Las Vegas, The bill was passed by the Assembly but killed in Senate committee during the closing hours of the session. District officials attributed this to the lack of a clear understanding of the real purpose and intent of the proposed amendment by members of the upper chamber and insufficient time for clarification before the session terminated. NOTE TO EDITORS: Copies of the McNamee and 0 »Melv*ny L Kyers legal opinions are available at the District office and will be fur’ lished on request,
