Bracken recommended to Strong that the company perform some maintenance work to avoid a lawsuit with the Stewart family.

Bracken stated that water from reservoir and spring was flowing, but was being absorbed into the ground as it flowed through a bed of tuilleries. In order for water to reach the Stewart burial plot and avoid a lawsuit threatened by Stewart heirs, Bracken recommended that the company dredge the ditch from the Main Street bridge to weir at dam.

The spring on the ranch had slowed to the point where livestock could not be supported. Bracken recommended that the Las Vegas Land and Water Company drill a well or permit Wittwer to do so.
