70 Increase Town Water Supply.
A Gale / meeting of the town cOun-
il was ELECTROMAGNETIC to take steps
boxing for an increased supply of
,ater for Lexington. There were pres
mt MAYOR Pierson and Councilmen
,old, Estill, Letcher, Quisenberry
nd Shields.
The water committee, Councilmen
'old and Quisenberry, were author
ed to prospect for water, and they
ere empowered to take such steps
nd adopt such plans as they deemed
est for increasing the present sup
ly.
1t has been suggested that possibly
supply can be secured by digging
own in the neighborhOod of Brushy
ill spring with the hope of striking
n undercurrent of. water 1t is said
lat these currents can be heard flow .
lg underground. Should stream
e struck it will be necessary to force s
lie water into the reservoir. ,
The extremely dry summer and {
ltumn are responsible for the pres :
Mt low water. In addition to this 9
lie demands lately are greatly in {
icess Of former years, hence in times
low water the need of more r
,undant supply is keenly felt. !
