Walter Bracken urging the Union Pacific Railroad to pay serious attention to maintaining a wooden pipeline, which was leaking badly in numerous places in summer. The reservoir level was at seven feet and falling.

Telegram informing that the Las Vegas Land and Water Company crew repaired 108 holes in their main pipeline and gained a foot of water in the reservoir overnight.

Bracken was asking the Las Vegas Land and Water Company to disallow payment to the person who should have repaired the leaking pipeline but didn't. The spraying pipeline severely hampered their credibility in the public eye when asking for conservation from citizens.
