All Over Nevada
LAS VEGAS MAY
DECIDE TO DlslNcoRPoRATE

Talk of disincorporating Las Vegas
as n city and returning to the less
centralized county and state govern.
ment is again circulating around GER
tain quarters, and the talk goes so far
as 10 say that a movement is being
pushed 10 bring the subject before the
present legislature by those most in
terested in loose government
AS the Clark County Review pointe,l
out two years ago when a similar
move was on foot, disincorporation
would be a blow to the prestige of Las
Vegas. as it would advertise TO the
state and TO all interested in municipal
government everywhere that Las We
gas was too weak to maintain a city
government. The blow would be espc
cially heavy inasmuch as the Las We
gas city charter has been used as q
model in many communities all over
the country and it is said TO be on the
Whole an unusually good one.
In Nevada particularly the disin
corporation would brand Las Vegas
as being OF uncertain foundation, in
asmuch as Las Vegas was the frs
city to incorporate as a commission
governed municipality, and at tha
time 1t received notice and more o.
less commendation from other citie,
and from newspapers of the state
To have a city of 1000 or 5000 dis
incorporate after a period of fly,
years would be a blow in the bacl
TO those who have the greatest faitl
in Las Negas.-Clark County Review
