Gil on Wednesday evening, by Mayor
Wiley, the city engineer was instruct
ed to draw up plans and specifications
for a new deep we'll for the city use,
one bid to be for using a cast iron
casing, and another for the best
wrought iron pipe This indicates that
another we'll may be drilled in the
near future, altho there appears no i'm
mediate necessity. A fair supply of
water is now being pumped from well
No. 2, tho the obstruction within about
300 feet of the bottom has never yet
been removed and the work of trying
further 10 get it out is abandoned.
There is no lack Of water at the pres
ent time, and no likelihood of any
failure for some time to come, but it
is deemed wise to utilize the costly
experience in deep well digging and
prepare for future needs along lines
known to be right.
