Mr.. S. A. Downing, artesan well borer of
Baltimore, has been engaged for some time in
sinking wells for the Westminster Water Com
pany At this time he is on his tenth well,
which promises an unusually abundant yield.
The combined output will equal over 600
gallons per minute, considerably in excess of
any demand heretofore made upon the re-
quirements of the system. We have the as
surauce that al an early day a manufacturing !
establishment will be built, the power to run
which will also be utilized to pump from the
wells water directly into the mains of the
Water Company. This will give to the con-
sumers water approaching temperature that
will enable many persons to enjoy the water
without the use of ice.
