Letter from Bennett calling attention to Nevada Senate Bill No. 155. Senate Bill 155 gives the Las Vegas Valley Water District power in levying taxes and issuing bonds in ways contrary to its original act. According to Bennett, it would create an unfair tax burden on the Los Angeles & Salt Lake Railroad Company and should be defeated. Senate Bill 155 is referenced below.

Discussion of the survey of the Las Vegas Ranch in relation to the Las Vegas Creek.

E.G. Tilton, Chief Engineer of the The San Pedro, Los Angeles & Salt Lake Railroad Company, replies that the railroad company has no intention of drilling any wells in Las Vegas because of the abundance of spring water in the area.

On a report that the railroad was not fulfilling its duty to supply water to the Stewart burial plot, Bracken and others visited the site and reported on their findings. An excerpt from the original Stewart deed is referenced below.

Transcribed Notes: Handwritten note at bottom of letter: "Mrs. Mina Stewart Los Angeles 7/25 talked to M & J. No water on burial plot although reservoir overflowed. 7/25."

Though the deed from Stewart makes no mention of water rights, it was McNamee's opinion that the water was part of the land and went with it.

Letter describing how the pipeline from the Springs should be replaced, and how something needed to be done about the low water pressure experienced by the town when filling trains.

Since the Union Pacific maintenance crew had not fixed the leaks in the pipeline, and the level in the reservoir was five feet and falling, Bracken had dispatched men to repair the pipeline.
