3 Mr, Folger is of opinion oqr present rule is as fair and equitable as can be made to cover all cases and from a public relations standpoint it would create a very unfavorable reaction if we, in view of Nomellini request, recommend a modification of our present rule. However, I am of the opinion we will be in a more favorable position before the Commission if we suggest modification of our present rule. When the Public Service Commission agreed to the cancellation of Rule 9-C, in 1943, the order provided; “That if, at some future time, the growth of Las Vegas, Nevada, demands that the rule again is necessary, the Company will be required to reinstate this rule in its rules and regulations,* and I am fearful that, if the Nomellini Company should take the matter to the Commission, it would order a reinstatement of that rule. As the obligation to complete a given number of houses does not assure that the houses will be occupied, thus producing water revenue to the Water Company, I recommend that we be authorized to submit to the Nevada Public Service Commission for approval the following modification of our former Rule 9-C, which I am sure will be acceptable to the Commission, will meet the objections of Nomellini and other Housing Project developers and at the same time fully protect our interests; Suggested Rule Extensions to serve Subdivisions. Traots and Housing Projects Applicants for main extensions to serve subdivisions, tracts or housing projects shall be required to advance to the Company before construction Is commenced the estimated reasonable total Installed cost of the necessary facilities and to deliver to the Company an easement 10 feet in width and in form acceptable to the Company, where such water mains are to be laid in other than dedicated streets and alleys, The size, type and quality of materials and location of the lines shall be specified by the Company and actual construction will be done by the Company or by a contractor acceptable to it. Adjustment of any difference between the estimated and reasonable actual total installed cost thereof shall be made after the completion of the installation, 2 At the time of making said advance of the estimated ‘ | \ I® tfv. . - 1 * 1B 1
