The Water Question.

A number of the citizens of this borough con
yened in Gabels Hall on the evening of the 18th
ult, to consider the merits of the different plans
TO secure water supply for our town.
After an organization had been effected the
feasibility OF boring an artesian well Was dis
cussed at length. A Strasburg party offers to
bore an eight-inch well to the depth of 1900 feet
II need be, at the rate Of $500 per foot. III II
weIe known that the strata of rocks in this yicIn-
ity were fav0rably formed, the above project
would undoubtedly be the hest and cheapest
since the town could In that way be provided with
pure water at perhaps half the cost of bringing
water into town IN any other way.
The success of boring artesian wells is. how
ever, very uncertain. ~ some localities the
0us reservoirs which are necessary to produce
flowing wells. Sometimes the layers are too per-
ylOus thus letting the water penetrate through
through the assures between the layers before IL
reaches the surface There are flowing artesian
wells at several places in Pennsylvania. while at
different other places the attempts have been
unsuccessful.
The second plan proposed was to pump water
out OF the Big Creek into n reservoir TO he built
on the hill east of Welssport, from whence the
water is to be brought to town. Though this
would involve an immense amount of work and
capital the supply of water would he ample and
the water question would be settled for all time
to comet
The last proposed resort to secure water was
to build n dam across the Long Run and from
there conveying the water into town. The water
in the above stream is reported to lie very pure
and clear, and runs through a wooded section
that will probably never be cleared NJ. for farm
ing purposes, thus securing constant supply of
pure water: about the only objection to the
scheme Is that the supply is, perhaps, insunic:
