/ The following communication from
the board of water commissioners was
read:
October ID, 1909.
Mayor and Common Council:
Gentlemen-In view of the fact that
the water board have exhausted the
appropriation made the current year
for increasing the water supply, and
taking into consideration the additional
fact that one (approximate) 80 foot well
has ceased TO flow, and the economy of
making efficient all the wells now down
while contractors are on the ground,
we ask,
That the council make an additional
appropriation of $4,000 for the purpose
of increasing the depth of the west well
on south tier of wells to approximately
200 feet, which depth we have reason
to believe from experience with other
wells on the premises will reach the
gravel, and produce reasonably salts
factory flow
The wat9,: bard cannot guarantee
that interchangeable depth of this well
approximately 100 fl. will reach the
water bearing gravel bed but do believe
there is a reasonable ground for expect
ing such result.
Respectfully submitted,
+. w. Howard,
II. p. McElroy,
Levi Tuttle.
