ORR ON THE FLOOR
This brought William E. Orr to
the floor, who explained that the stat
utes provide for the appointment of
IN advisory board. The town OF Las
Vegas, Mr.. Orr stated had taken ad-
vantage of this statute with the re-
ault that the town had been saved
many thousands of dollars. For IL
lustration, Mr.. Orr spoke OF the ap-
plication made by the Las Vegas
Water company for franchise
While the county commissioners o.
Clark county had given the matter at
tention and had taken some actor
relative thereto, they were not IL
position to scrutinize the propo
ton in the limited time which the,
had allotted to It's consideration.
But the town advisory board step
ped in, with the result that the wa
Tel rates were cut in two and othe
changes we're made, as the franchis,
Was finally passed, which mat 7ria |,
benefits the people of Las Vegas.
After some further discussion 0
the subject, motion was car
ried. unanimously, authorizing tn
president of the Commercial club t,
appoint a committee, Of three to draf
the ordinance referred to for presen
tAtion to the board of governors o
the club at a meeting to be held to
night. The committee named for thi
purpose consists of M. L. Lee. Johi
II. Cook aul Charles Lee Hcrsey.
