Los Angeles i April 1?, 1950 Pile: "Str 1 V " " Hr, Seinhardtj (cc: Mr. Calvin M. Cory 8 Las Vegas) Mr. A.M. Folger - * *' ) Last Friday 1 attended a see ting in Las Vegas, attended by Mayor Cragln, Mr. Canon, City Attorney, Mr. Folger, Mr. Cory and myself, to disease the lavs relating to the waste of water, outline of which I sent you with 31st. my letter of March It seems to be the consensus of opinion that the existing lavs are sufficient If they are properly enforced and the Mayor made the customary statement that they did not have sufficient police officers to enforce these water lavs nor did they have the money to hire new ones. Mr. Folger stated he had authority to reimburse the City for two special officers to be put os duty sometime in May, The restrictive sprinkling ordinance set out on the third page of my letter of March 31et was discussed. Some {pestion was raised as to the hours nov contained in that ordinance which the City Attorney advised me is still in effect, and it was suggested that sprinkling be prohibited between the hours of 9 AM and 5 PM and between the hours of 12 midnight and 6 AM. Mr, Folger Is to check his records to see if those hours would be of the most benefit to the Water Company and if so, the Mayor has agreed to request the City Attorney to prepare such an ordinance to be effective daring the period of June 1st to September 15th of each year. It was also suggested that a short time prior to the effective date of this ordinance, an advertisement be inserted in the Las Vegas paper, signed by the Mayor and Chief of Police, briefly drawing the attention of the citizens to the various restrictive ordinances relating to the waste of water. The Mayor stated that would be satisfactory to him If the City did not have to pay for the advertising. Mr. Folger will write you with respect to securing authority to pay for such an ad. The City Attorney did not favor an ordinance authorizing the Mayor or Chief of Police to fix or change the hours for the use of water as suggested on the third page of my letter of March 31st, the Mayor Intimating that such an ordinance would be “too hot* for him to handle and he suggested that the Chief of Police might feel the same m y about it.
