:, a second artesian well is to be drilled
,oa at the Fletcher paper pulp factory. 1t |
,ures will DO sunk to the same depth as the one
now in use, and tap the same subterrane-
- ., an stream, about 600 feet below the sur
o. face. One well does not furnish sufficient
nor, water to supply the very large demand of
n. E. tho factory, and the water furnished by
the City Water company can not be used,
rr,b- 1t Is 80 dirty. The city water has to
loco do for the citizens, but 1t is not clean
n mt enough to make paper pulp with. The
now human system has to stand the dirty wa
ter and take its chances Of getting injured
with the muddy compound.
