Transcription
Mr. Mann: #3 Juno 9* 1938* by various means, and thinks perhaps a method of syphoning would be of some benefit. From my experience with Well Wo. 1 in past years, it seems to me the trouble with the new well is duo to sanding up. If we could clear the sand out of the new well and restore it to its former flow we would have available the full supply of water we planned on when the new well was drilled, There is also,attached a statement showing the comparative production of water for both the oity and the railroad uses during the past six years, from which you will note a full production from the new well would almost double the supply available, I# have the cooperation of the newspaper and the city officials, and are asking all consumers to conserve* the supply as much as possible and avoid any waste, with the hope of building the reserves in the reservoir up to a safe point. Meanwhile, I will • appreciate very much any assistance you can give us toward restoring the flow from Well #3 to normal. As I understand you will be in Las Vegas only a few minutes as the B-41 passes through here, I am writing you this letter so you will have the full detaiIs| Sincerely yours. WALTER R, BRAbKEN7
