At the next meeting of the state board of charities proposition of sink ing wells to supply the state hospital for treatment of nervous diseases with water will be taken up. The institu- tion is served by the public utility corporation which supplies Little Rock and uses about 5,000,000 gallons d month. The cost is about $350 per month, and the members of the board think this entirely too much to pay out for water The members of the board are of the opinion that pure water can be secured by sinking deep wells. At Forest Park, on hill just across from the state institution, there is a deep well which supplies ample water for the large crowds which visit that resort during the summer months. This convinces the members of the board that deep well at the insane asylum would bring plenty of water.
