W .H MAY 20 Omaha, May 17, 1942 X *. f i Mr. W. H. Bracken: X was astounded to learn from report made by Mr* Wipprecht that from a check of receipts for water sold by the las Vegas land and Water Company it has been ascertained that there were four consumers against whoa bills were not being rendered and that there were 371 consumers against whom the monthly charges wars incorrect and that the net undercharge per month amounted to $833*50. It was a surprise to me to learn that these accounts wsre not being currently checked by the Accounting Department or that you did not insist upon such checking in order to protect yourself. These disclosures are so disturbing that I would like to have your complete explanation of them and an estimate of what the retroactive undercharges from the Inception might amount to. This is a serious situation and one which X want thoroughly and promptly investigated. £C J. 1942
