The chairman then called upon UR* C» D* BAKER, who introduced a map showing the confines of the entire district, as w ell as the individual divisions* MR* BAKER stressed the fact that there had been some rumors that the act authorizing the creation of the district had been rushed through; that this was not true and that a great deal of thought had been put into it* "In setting up the seven divisions,” he stated "it was attempted to divide them approximately according to population* The water supply goes both within and without of the city limits and the franchise of the Las Vegas Land and Water Company does not extend beyond the city limits and in view of expansion outside of these limits, it was necessary to include portions beyond the city limits in designating the districts,” Mr* Baker then pointed out on the map the areas comprising the seven individual divisions, as follows® DIVISION Is Vegas Heights, North Las Vegas, DIVISION 2*. Everything west of Union Pacific 'Railroad out to golf course* DIVISION 3* Downtown area. Railroad out to 11th and north to cemetery, DIVISION 4t West of 11th and out to city limits to Euclid Avenue* DIVISION 5a Area between Fremont and Garces and Main and 6th, DIVISION 6s Paradise area and extending to a point approximately 3 mile s below new County Airport, DIVISION 7s Henderson, Whitney and Pittman Mr, Baker also explained that the attempt had been made to keep these divisions grouped according to voting precincts so as not to disturb the mechanics of voting in this special election. ’’These divisions”, he stated, "are in cooperation a nd approved by the County Commissioners to disturb as little as possible the precinct boundaries.
