NEW WELLS TO
Be INSTALLED
Water Board Will Have Spe-
ciaI Session Tonight.

AS a means il giving the city a
sufficient and clean supply Of water
the water commissioners practically
decided last night to install new
wells, one or two at time to meet
the demand. This action was sug-
gested to make up for a reported
daily loss of about 100000 gallons,
caused by corrosion and clogging Of
ends of well pipes. The commits
sioners met in committee session and
discussed the subject at length last
night. 1t was decided to hold a spe-
cial meeting of the Board of Water
Commissioners tonight to take imme-
diate action.
Sections of Wells Shown.
Two sections of a badly corrOded
and stopped up well were exhibited
before the water commissioners last
night. The lower section was COM
pletely blocked up with sand and sed-
iment, allowed TO enter holes in the
pipe by reason Of destruction of a
brass gau2e screen about the end OF
the pipe. The upper section showed
water could not be run through 1t by
reason of the fact that so much iron
and other sediment had deposited on
the gauze screen stopped 1t up com
pletely,
Big Loss of Water.
During the winter the loss Of
much water became evident to com
missioners and engineers, but at the
time the cause was not known
When warmer weather set in the real
cause became known and engineer
Mason delivered an exhaustive talk
on the subject at the last regular
meeting of the board last Wednes-
day night At that time the commits
sloners discussed the adyisability oil
| hauling up wells to replace gauze
screens. Engineer Mason stated II
would cost little If any more money
to sink new wells.
As the department Is minus equip
ment to haul up and replace wells
and as the commissioners wish tC
avoid sending artesian water out fol
consumption, It was practically de
cided last night TO replace half
dozen or so new wells, one or two a
time TO meet demands, until ar
rangements could be made for re
pairing or replacing wells that are
| becoming useless.
