inc. and il was feared that they wer
leaking. The second casing is down 20
feet. and the alderman thought that i
should 90 down $50 feet. 1t is l0-incl

ing more pipe. He explained that SOM
OF the rock is soft and the well is az
to leak unless the second casing goe.
down further.

OF public works order $50 feet more @
the ten inch pipe. and this was carried
