Bracken reporting his visit to Buol's well and recommending a report from an engineer before the Las Vegas Land and Water Company purchases any additional land to protect their water rights.

Bracken asking Clark how to proceed since a man had offered to buy a small plot of land near the Las Vegas Springs who had promised not to drill a well. Bracken recommended to not allow it.

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.

The pipeline between the springs and the shops had burst. Two weeks had passed and still the water service was not working on it. Bracken requested that it be fixed immediately.

The railroad should consider drilling a well inside the shop grounds in case of serious labor troubles.

The water situation in Las Vegas was very serious. Water pressure was so low that there was no water in any second story in town.

Strikes were making it impossible for the water company to expand their sources of water.
