Bracken reported that the ice plant had no objection to having their water cut off while passenger trains were filled, but cutting off the town would cause serious trouble and should not be done.

Las Vegas was experiencing low water pressure because the fruit company was using full head through a direct 8 in. water main. Their cooling tower was installed, but not in service. Bracken wondered if there was a way to compel them to either use the tower or dig a well.

Maguire informs that Bracken was planning on using surplus water from the new artesian well to irrigate land on the Las Vegas Ranch.

The new artesian well should be capped so its flow could be controlled so there would not be a problem with claims of surplus water. Written in pencil at the top of the page: "102-5" "174-2" and "Dry Lake, Nev." Letter is stamped "A.S.H. Jan 7." Letter also refers to Mr. Mcnamee.

Reinhardt suggests that because of the serious water condition in Las Vegas, the water company should file a protest against the application of Jack Wollenzein to drill a new well.

Radio KENO was airing a public forum on the subject ''will the growth of Las Vegas be limited by shortage of water?'' and wanted a water company representative to participate.

After the discovery of a dead man in a swimming hole on Union Pacific property, the removal of the swimming hole was suggested.
