To the Commercial Club and the Citi
zens of Bryan:
Having had our site in New Orleans
appropriated by the levee board of
the city, we were forced the June past
to close down our -four mill plant
there. Unable to obtain a new site,
and for other reasons OF a personal
nature. we have decided not to rebuild
in New Orleans.
Our attention having been called to
Bryan as a location for Touring mill
we have investigated and find condi.
tons excellent. The facilities afforded
by the railroads for the handling OF
the wheat in and the -four out assure
a trade that will keep a 200 to $50.
barrel mill operating 300 days in the
year on a 24-hour schedule. The plant
at New Orleans had a capacity OF 1000
barrels, and the equipment from same
can be adapted to mill of capacity
suitable for Bryan. The power de-
partment OF our plant consisted OF
225-horse power Diesel oil engines with
all accessories. To operate a 200
barrel plant with this engine would
not be profitable. as there would be
not less than 150-horse power capacity
idle. If 1t can be arranged to have the
city of Bryan contract with us for a
period of years for the furnishing Of
power for the lighting of streets and
for ba nf tar will
coed Immediately to perfect an organi-
Zation for the erection OF first-class
200 to 250-barrel -four mill and
power plant in the city of Bryan. AS
we have offers from other communi.
ties quick action on this matter is
desired We herewith append SEIZED
ule of the proposed charges for power
to be made by the mill should II he
established.
(Signed) J. r. LAWLER.
January 10, 1911.
The above proposition. will be pre-
scented to the citizens OF Bryan at
meeting OF the Commercial Club ana
citizens at $50 o'clock tonight. If the
plan can be worked out it will re-
move the necessity of the city build
ing an expensive power plant.
The citizens should investigate this
proposition, and if advisable make
contract Everyone recognizes the
necessity for water and the advantage
that this great plant would be to the
city.

taken in their proposition, and gave
them his assurance that now they were
to be citizens of Bryan they would be
as much interested in Bryan's welfare
as anyone else, and would do all In
their power to aid in making 1t a city.
Mr.. Hewitt thanked the council for
its patient hearing of the mattersand
their final action, as the proposition
was the work of the Commercial Club.

The work on the test well has
progressed rapidly since the drilling
began few weeks ago. and on Sat.
urday depth of 490 feet was reached.
II was thought that the remaining ten
feet would be drilled yesterday, but
work was held up on account of con.
ference between the city council and
a representative from Messrs. Lane e.
Bowler, of Houston, the contractors
Mr.. j. B. Scoggins, of Houston, is in
the city and met with the city officials
this morning. 1t was decided to drill
the remaining ten feet. and IL there
was any evidence OF sand to drill still
further.
In most of the wells around Bryan
there is sand near the stream of water
and this is detriment in securing a
water supply. 1t is the plan of the
council to drill through the sand and
get supply of water that will be
permanent. Work was resumed to.
