Title | Letter from Walter R. Bracken (Las Vegas) to Frank Strong (Los Angeles), August 2, 1939 |
Creator | Bracken, Walter R.; |
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. |
