Work will start Immediately on an

which Is now about completed was put
down at considerable less expense
than was at first anticipated It is no
easy task to handle we'll OF this size
so the city council thought 1t best to
put the second well down while the
tools and machinery were on the
grounds. The wall around this we'll
will be sixteen inches thick. twelve
feet In width and thirty four feet deep.
This will leave several feet OF gravel
between the bottom OF the well and
the clay soil below. The we'll which is
about completed. will throw seven
hundred gallons Of water per minute.
This is as much water as Is used in

have more civic organizations like the
Greater Des Moines Association to
hammer down interstate railway rates.
