ing the hot weather as the water consumption is so large we should have all our facilities, including the full capacity of the reservoir, available for supplying both the City of Las Vegas and the Railroad Company, therefore, in accordance with our conversation today, Mr. Mack will not install the booster pumps at this time but will install them later this year after the hot weather is over. He will at once start erection of derrick on Well No. 10 and install pump and follow up with in­stallation of jfumps in Wells Nos. *1- and 7» Material for the repairs to the weir boxes is all on hand with the exception of bolts, nuts and nails, which have been shipped from L. A. Store and are enroute to Las Vegas. Mr. Mack will make repairs and reinforce the weir boxes which are now leak­ing. With reference to Mr. Bracken*s letter of March l6th, relative to weir measurements, Mr. Anderson will arrange the baffle plates in the weir boxes so that the water will be quiet on the down stream end at the point where measurement is taken. Proper adjustment of baffle plates will prevent the surge which Mr. Bracken mentions. We placed a temporary baffle in the weir at Well No. 1 and stopped the surge. R. L. Adamson - 3 - CC-Mr. J. P.
