''GENTLEMEN-You committee on
poor farm submit the following re-
port: On the Goth day of April, 1895,
the well at the poor farm gave out
and could not be repaired. A con-
tract wasmade with Mic Bruels, Henry
Schultz and Bargemeir to dig a new
well at 81. so per foot, they guarntee-
ing well with plenty of water for
all purposes on said farm. They
drilled to the depth of 400 feet and
found supply of water that rises to
$50 feet of the top of the ground at
which point the water stays and no
amount of pumping lowers it any. We
are satisfied the well has abundance
of water and will always give full
supply of water. We recommend the
payment in full to Bruels, Schultz and
Bargmeier. They have signed con-
tract guaranteeing the well for the
period of three years.
