Los Angeles, September 33, 1937. 9315-355 Mr. Walter R. Bracken; Referring to your le tt e r September 13th, subject, water supply - Las Vegas: That part o f i t re lativ e to blowing out the present well to relieve sand and other pressure, has been given consideration. Assistant Chief Engineer Adamson concurs in recommendation made by you and Dr. Boyle that we blow the w ell out in an e ffo rt to re liev e sand pressure, with the hope that it w ill increase the flow. It i s estimated it w ill cost approxi- r » r mately #1,000 to do th is work. However, i f successful, it would increase flow and therefore ju stify the expenditure. I f you w ill le t me know when you consider the time favorable for blowing the w ell out, I w ill take up and arrange for it promptly. F. H. Knickerbocker
