Letter from Walter R. Bracken (Las Vegas) to Frank Strong (Los Angeles), August 2, 1939
Date

Description
Bracken stated that water from reservoir and spring was flowing, but was being absorbed into the ground as it flowed through a bed of tuilleries. In order for water to reach the Stewart burial plot and avoid a lawsuit threatened by Stewart heirs, Bracken recommended that the company dredge the ditch from the Main Street bridge to weir at dam.
