over. We expect 10 examine the bal
ance Of the wells during the coming
week and / am sure that "A decided i'm
prOVement viii be made and We will
have all the water required for any
purpose whatever.
II wish also 10 remind you that we
have started our new plant at the end
OF dlsastrously dry season. Many
deep well plants are either shut down
or are curtailug on the use OF water.
i think we are very fortunate in haV-
ing as good prospect as We have
under such unfaVOrable conditions.
1T is possible that If another dry
season comes on we may need more
wells OF a reservoir to take care OF
extra heavy draughts or a fire. This
also has been anticipated and prOviv-
ed for. For the past ten days rainy
weather has interfered greatly with
our work on the wells and finishing
the plant, but with a few days fair
weather We will have everything in
shi pshape and all the water neces-
sary
Il wish 10 say also that every tay
should be metered and that as soon
as it can be done. As stated above.
we are now pumping twice as much
water as should be pumped, and with
the consumption down to where it
should be. we would never be in doubt
about having water enough for any
fire OF any duration.
Respectfully submitted,

Minor Ones Wiped Off by
Montgomery - Ready For
Next Term.

To clear up the criminal docket in
the circuit court in preparation for
the November term, Prosecutor Mont

ceny. F'ink's confession was obtained

moval 10 Chicago where he is testify
ing against the men higher up"

convicted OF arson. although now at
liberty on bond pending his appeal,
and consequently the larceny case was
dismissed.
The case of Harry Brown, Junior

arson in connection with the Kahn
