May 25, 1920. Mr. W. H. Comstock, Los Angeles. Dear Sir:- Mr. Bracken has sent me copy of his letter of May 23rd to you, in regard to water situation. I do not understand that the completion of the pipe line is going to be of very much assist-ance in increasing the pressure, although it may eliminate some of the waste. Chances are that the principal cause of lack of pressure is the prodigal use of water in the town for irrigating purposes, etc., a situation which is very difficult to control. In regard to Mr. Bracken's suggestion, to the pur-chase of the Connelly well. I am very skeptical of the advisa-b i l i ty of purchasing somebody's else well. It will do no harm, however, to have an investigation made, but we should move very cautiously on a proposal of this kind. Yours truly, CC-W.R.B.
