Senator Halves who was a
member of the House of Repres-
entatives four years prior to his
election to the Senate last fall,
has still an open mind on the
subject. He is largely influenc-
ed by the banking interests which

hydro-electric interests.
However. believe that if
Senator Hawes is properly in
formed and satisfied in regard
to the measure he will support it.
There is every reason why every
Senator in the Mississippi Valley
should support the Boulder Dam
Bill because it is in line with
what they are asking for Mis-.
souri, and Mississippi River i'm
pr0vements.

appropriates millions without any

WHITEHEAD MAKES
REPLY TO CHARGES
Says Realty Board "AlI Het
Up"-That Principal Com
plant is "Sour Grapes.

County Recorder Whitehead, be.
ing asked by the Age for a state
ment in answer to the charges
made against him by the Realty
Board at the meeting of the
county commissioners Tuesday,
said he thought the Realty Board
was "All het up about little or
nothing"
Following is Mr.. Whitehead's
statement:
"The Recorders office has been
handled with dispatch and the
compliments from some of those
who are qualified to pass upon
the work indicate that there is
no general dissatisfaction with
matters in that office.
THE County Commissioners
know that they have at all times
had the hearty cooperation of the
Recorder and Auditor in every
effort to give the tax payers full
value for their money both in
time and effort.
"Office hours mean little to a
man who has a large family to
support and the small amount OF
outside work that the Recorder
has Undertaken has much more
than been made up by HOURS of
work which were not considered
office hours.
"The office is at all times open
to ths public, according to the
Statutes. Service Is given in a
sincere effort to please the public.
Some small amount of criticism
has been heard because the Re-
corder has acted as Secretary OF
the Chamber of Commerce. But
the Recorder has at all times
stood ready to resign that posi-
ton should the tax payers and
public demand it in any concert
ed way.
"The connection of the Recors-
er with the Las Vegas Realty
Company was a temporary ar
rangement until others could find
time and make the proper ar
rangements to take 1t over with
out thot of the Recorder going
into the realty business, except
as a small stock holder, which
he certainly has a right to do,
although the Realty Board differs
in this opinion.
"The principal matter referred
to in the complaint Of the Board
to the Commissioners is a matter
of SOUR GRAPES, wherein a
certain member of the Realty
Board expected to make a haul
which was possibly upset through
the inquiry Of a friend of the
Recorder"

FISHER ENCOURAGES
WORK OF CHAMBER
ST. Louis Man Writes En-
couragingIV About Bould-
er Canyon Dam and Las
Vegas.

Mr.. ]. c. Fisher, Las Vegas
property owner, and long a con-
vert to the possibilities of Las
Vegas. has written a letter to the
Age in which he gives interest
ing comments of the Boulder Dam
project. That he recognizes the
important service that the Las
Vegas Chamber of Commerce is
performing is proved by the fact
that Mr.. Fisher enclosed a check
for $1,000 as a contribution to
the work.
Mr.. Fishers letter follows:
"St. Louis, Mo,
April 1, 1927.
Dear Mr. Squires:
81 have been keeping in touch
with your determined efforts to
secure the passage of the Boulder
Dam appropriation bill.
"You are certainly to be con-
graduated personally and the
people of Las Vegas are to be
congratulated on the faithful ser
vices you have given them.
while the bill was pending
and during the last few days of
the session I appealed by wire to
our two Senators Senator Reed
and Senator Halves asking their
support of the Boulder Dam bill
Senator Reed who was a
minded and without doubt the
ablest senator in the Senate TODAY
will do everything he can to aid
Senator Johnson in the passage
Of the Boulder Dam bill.

hurry.
Those who did not vote at the
last election or voted absent vot-
ers ballot must re-register. To
date very few have taken care of
this matter.
The reason for so few register

that there has not been much ex-
