mam Mr. W. 12* Jeffere -2- November 10, 1944 They fostered some agitetion for bringing in e supply from Lake Mead through the Basic Pipe Line and in order to bring matters to a head i requested the President of the Chamber of Commerce to arrange a luncheon eo we could discuss the various angles of the problem with the Chamber of Commerce, City and County Officials and State Engineer. 1 am convinced that the meeting accomplished a great deal of good towards "clearing the atmosphere" and advising the public through the Press of the Importance of conserving this most valuable asset to the Community. As State Engineer Smith explained to the®, the investment in the Basie Pipe Line is over five million dollars, and if the people of Las Vegas insisted, the supply could be brought in from Basic Magnesium Plant but it would cost a great deal more than the water retails at now and in addition the quality would be not near as good.
