You will note quite a difference in water consumed per capita in 1942 from that of 1941, even considering the increase in population. This was due to the advertising campaign you had us put on in 1942 and the advantage of having a good outside man checking the waste of water. May we have your permission to discontinue this monthly report, if it has now served your purpose. W.H.J. OCT. 10 1942 WALTER A. BRACKEN Las Vegas - October 8, 1942 W-25 Mr. W. H.
