Mr, W. R, Bracken: In connection with our efforts towards conserva­tion of water at Las Vegas, I am quoting below extract from Mr, Kipp* s letter of the 12th addressed to General Live Stock Agent Reed, Omaha: "Regarding the report of water waste, Mr. Shaw (Swift & Company) states that his manager of the stockyards received request from Mr. Edwards, representative of the Las Vegas Land and Water Company, that the water be per­mitted to run during the winter months to avoid possible freezing of the pipes. This Is one additional reason for the waste which we all talked about." Is it a fact that representative of the Las Vegas Land and Water Company requested the stock yards people to permit water to run during the winter months to avoid possi­bility of freezing and do you consider such a procedure absolutely necessary! Los Angeles, February 16, 1942, W. H. GUILD
