LOS ANGELES - March 29, 1949 Files 80*3 and^r 83-4 (Nev) Mr. Win. Reinhardt: In connection with the Las Vegas Valley Water District and the amendment to the statute creating the district, as amended by Senate Bill 153, and your inquiry as to the qualifications necessary for voters of the district: Under the state law, a man is eligible to vote if he has been in the state six months and in the county thirty days- The Las Vegas Valley Water District Act adds a further provision with respect to the electors under that act by requiring that the elector be a bona fide holder of title or evidence of title of real property within the boundaries of the Las Vegas Valley Water District- I draw your attention, however, to another amendment to the District Act, which was ineludsd in Senate Bill 155, and concerning Which we had not been heretofore advised. Under the original Distriet Act, a corporation could vote on any matters concerning the district either through its President, Vice President or anyone else duly authorised by the corporation. Under the amendment written into Senate Bill 155, that provision was stricken out and only individual property o vmers may now vote- I doubt if the corporations owning the various hotels along the strip are aware of that amendment* S. £. Bennett
