Test Well Brought Nothing But
q Bed Of Salt Today.
TRY IT ACROSS The RIVER
One More Attempt to Find
What Is Below the Kaw.
Repetition of Salina Scare Is
Feared by Commissioners.

First it was oil. then it was coal
and now it is salt
Well drillers in an attempt to find a
new source of water supply for the city
of Topeka today added the third thrill
to their schedule of trips beneath the
SOIL
With the discovery of salt comes the
ultimate failure Of the test well being
bored 200 feet beneath the sands of the
Kaw. In other words, Topeka. begin
ming today, faces one of the most seri-
Gus water problems in its history.
Here Is the situation:
A test well has been under course of
drilling near the waterworks station
for weeks. For the first time In his
tory the city of Topeka determined to
find what chances there were for water
200 feet below the river level The
adequate for the city's increasing de-
mands makes it necessary that some
thing be done Immediately.
The test well found oil and coal and
salt-but no water. Topeka right now
prefer a good supply of water to any of
the uncertain strikes of oil and coal
and salt. The salt bed found this MORN
ing ruined for all domestic purposes
the water in the test well.
Commissioner Newland, before the
board Of city commissioners today,
succeeded in procuring an appropria.
ton of 5000 for the sinking of anoth-
er well. This time it will be across
the river where a different rock for
nation holds out hope to the munich
pal water providers.
I've must have more water" Com
missioner Newland said today. 1--WE
will have enough for this summer. We
were able to exceed the demand last
summer during the douth-a real test.
But we have found that at Salina the
water has dropped twelve feet in 20
years. If this happened in Topeka we
would face a water famine. The big
wells at the plant are so and so feet
deep-but we need more dependable
wells for the constantly increasing de-
mand in Topeka. The city is growing
and the water supply isn't"
