Letter from H. C. Mann discussing Walter Bracken's recommendation to drill a new well to guarantee water for irrigation on the Las Vegas Ranch. Bracken's letter is referenced below.
Since the city was expanding its sewer system, it was a good time to renegotiate their contract to get all the water run off from the city sewer system for irrigation on the Las Vegas Ranch. Written in pencil at top of page "174-2." Letter has two date stamps "A.S.H. Jul 24 1929" and "L.A. & S.L. R.R. Co. Law Department Jul 24 1929."
Letter stating that damage to the pipeline was causing damage at the rail yard, and repair work should be undertaken immediately instead of waiting for scheduled maintenance.
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.
LVL&WC executives had been called to a meeting with the Utilities Commission about water shortages, and W. H. Comstock was seeing if they could quickly increase capacity before the meeting.
The temporary expedients they used to bring the new well into production, like the makeshift settling pond, needed to be permanently settled before the state and county health authorities got involved. The office of Mr. Osborne and Engineer McKee is mentioned.
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.
Workers installing sewer lines disturbed the water mains, which would cause many future problems, and Bracken was asking the company lawyer how to proceed.
