good working order. The cost of
repairing these wells is very
uncertain quantity. | have heard
it said that the cost of repairing
- Broad street well, would be equal
to that of new well. Now it
seems to me that this well should
be repaired even if it costs more
than the putting down of new
well. For. supposing you put down
new well, it is doubtful if it
will be any better than the Broad
street well, and then you must go
to great deal of expense in
stopping the flow from the Broad
street well.
The material now obstrncting the
Broad street well might be re-
moved to sufficient depth to al
low the centrifugal pump now at
the pumping station to be put i'm
place, and the water kept down
while the excavating is being done,
and the overflow around the well
controlled by placing concrete.
The well should be reeased. If
the lower casing is as reported,
in the paper few days ago, every
effort should be made to pull it
ont, as the well can never fur
nish its available supply with
such casing.
! will furnish yon in few days
with details for connections and
construction of well pits.
1t would seem very desirable
that all of the above work should
be accomplished before the frost
of December, as frost might SER
ionsly interfere with the construc-
ton after that time. This will
require that work be pushed as
vigorously as possible from now
on. | shall be pleased to give any
further information you may de-
sire, or explain any points that
may seem obscure. Yours very
truly, John Wilson.

rectiOn OF the head.
Provide For the Future.
However, the location of this
we'll would seem to be provision
for the future rather than for the
present time. From the data |
have collected, and | have learned
what | could of all artesian wells
the city, it would seem quite
reasonable to suppose that if the
city improves its present supply,
1T will be ample for all immediate
requirements.
by relaying all the snction
mainse as / have indicated on the
profile, the flow from Broad street
well would be increased by about
ninety gallons per minute, from
Second street well about fifty gal
Ions, and, from the two wells at
the pumping station about sixty
gallons each, or total of two
hundred and sixty gallons per
minute, which would give grand
total of fourteen hundred gallons
per minute. The expenses of re-
laying the suction mains and re-
modelling the well pits should not
be charged up to the additional
water supplied, as both are required
as a sanitary precaution, and it is
simply taking advantage of the OPP
portunity, while making necessary
repairs. to secure an additional sup
ply almost equal to that which
could be secured from new well.
The main from Broad street to
Second street should be ten inch,
and that from Second street to the
pumping station fourteen inch. This
would allow for connection the
suggested well at Second street in
the future when it may be re-
quired:
Cost Will Be $4,000.
Ten-inch pipes from the two
wells in front of the pumping sta
ton will be all that is required
The cost of making these changes
| think will not exceed $500 All
this is. of course, based on the
supposition that both the Broad
street well and the old well at
the pumping station are placed in
