pumped all the plugs flushed.
/ Mr. shiyers reported that the artesian
Ewater had settled perfectly clear.
E He thought it was time for Council to
decide whether we want to 90 further in
this matter. Unless it was the wish OF
fCouncil, the committee did not want TO as
Ecertain the cost Of installing an artesian
fplant. He thought he could get near the

MIR. CLARK suggested the Feasibility Of
Hsinkine wells at the pumping station.

sinking wells was getting better fire protec-
Etion. and we could not GET that by getting
Ewater from the numping station unless we

coal cheaper by building here. We co1li
Fget the pressure we need by erecting stand
pipe.
