    October 18, 1948 Hon. E. W. Cragin Mayor of Las Vegas Las Vegas, Nevada Dear Mr. Cragin: fsiiSortnere poerfto: tw eaYctoteuirro nslee rttovtie tcrhe oe sf ro euAstuohgru otsft h o2tth4ee lr sCeig toaynrd Slioinumgit thes xF tfieofnrt-h water service to these locations, but in view of the fire protection possibilities, I again submitted the proposal to our officials. ttohe p rCoivtyid leOiu mfria pctoissl.ii ttWiieeo snf ioeresl ft uthrhanatti ws eohu csrae nfrivnriosctte u noodbueltirsgtiaadtkeie oo nf is to supply the people within the City and if we set a precedent by supplying water outside the limits it is quite possible, from what we know of the ar-tesian supply, that such a policy would react to the detriment of the City, in that there unquestionably is not sufficient water in the artesian channel to adequately supply both the City and applicants out-aide the City. Regret that we cannot conform to the re-quest, but trust that you will recognize the fairness of our position. Very truly yours, General Manager
