KIRK BRYAN MAKES
REPORT TO BOARD

The two deep wells in the power
plant grounds test the waler-bearing
character of the sand stones that
with interbedded shales form the
rocks that underlie the town. These
wells have each produced 60 gallons
per minule and with the equipment
now being installed should furnish
at least 100 gallons per minute. The
installation at these wells of equip
ment already available was a good
business move, and will provide the
city with supplementary supply Of
water for emergency use. A we'll
at the Perico plant with a depth Of
}i5 feet penelrates the same sand
stones and shales as do the deep
wells IN the power plant grounds.
This well has a yield of 40 gal. per
minute and is also useful as sup
Elementary supply. Additional wells
at the Perico plant can be installed
but it should be borne in mind that
the sandstone from which the water
is derived has a total thickness of
but 81 feet, of which the lower two
feet separated from the upper 80
feet by a 3-fout bed of hard rock.
is the principal water bearing zone.
Too great a draft can not be safely
made upon so thin a water bearing
bed. The pumping cost is also
large.
The proposed plan for cquiping
the dam at the Perico creek with
flush gates appears to be a feasible
scheme for removing the sand and
gravel from the channel and for
increasing the storage capacity OF
the dam. With such flood gates the
Perico will probably furnish at least
30 gal. per minute i'm extreme low
water periods. With the addition
of the well at the dam and the two
wells in the power plant grounds
2i0 gal. a minute will be available
This quantity of water exceeds the
present maximum of use, which is
i50 eal. a minute, The raising OF
the dam to increase storage is q
project of the immediate future tC
provide for the growth of the town
Looking far into the future one
can anticipate a time when storage
dams on the upper PericO will bt
necessary or when additional we'll,
and pumping plants may be requir-
ed. However, il appears to the writ
er that the experience already gain
ed by the town is sufficient to MAKE
the solution of these problems rela.
lively easy. provided only that thu
plans pursued are consistent anC
thai the operating personnel is o
the present high standard.
Very truly yours,
KIRK BRYAN,
Geologist in the u. S. Geological
Survey.

CITIZENS
FILE STRONG PROTEST

We, the undersigned citizens Of
Clayton New Mexico, respectfully
represent;
/.
That in our opinion no emergency
exists which would or could justify
the appointment Of a receivership
to administer Clayton's business af-
fairs and business.
II.
That economic and business con-
ditions do not justify the expendi-
ture Of large sums of money for
development and extension of Clay
toms water and light plant at this
time.
That the people of Clayton have
voted not to incur additional in
debtedness, by defeating the bond
issue submitted at the last munich
pal election, and have thereby ex-
pressed themselves on the subject.
That receivership is an indirect
method Of procuring moneys for ex-
penditures which the people have
refused to authorize directly.
~.
That The appointment of receiv-
ership to administer Clayton's bust
ness affairs is a humiiating con-
fession and acknowledgement to the
world that Clayton is incompetent
and unable to conduct its own bust
ness and would result in lasting and
permanent injury to the credit and
welfare of the town, its business, anC
the business and the interests of the
citizens.
Wherefore, we respectfully but
most seriously and earnestly protest
against the appointment of any re-

HILL BROTHERS EXTEND
OIL AND GAS BUSINESS

Last week Hill Brothers, of Clay
ton added another link in their chain
of oil and gas stations, when they
became owners of the Rule Oil & Gas
Co. at Des Moines. This gives them
stations at TeXline, MI. Dora, Des
Moines and Clayton.
The Hills are among the most
progressive business men in Union
county. Through their close appli-
cation to business and fair and
square dealing with the public,
they have built up a progressive
business that is a credit to any COM

The News recently carried letter
from Senator A. A. Jones to r. w.
Isaacs, stating that Kirk Bryan, geol-
ogist in the U. S. Geological Survey,
had been instructed to visit Clayton
and make a report on the water sit
uation Mr. Isaacs is to be COM
mcnded for his forethought and in
terest in The matter MIR. Bryan
should be an authority, and as such
Mr.. Isaacs has been instrumental in
securing an authentic report rela-
tive to the wafer supply. We give
Mr. Bryans report in its entirety:
The Board of Trustees,
Village of Clayton, N. NJ
Gentlemen;
Pursuant to orders of the Director
of the L. $. Geological Survey,
have made a brief investigation of
the water supply Of Clayton This
work was undertaken at the inter-
cession Of Mr.. r. W. lsaacs through
Senator A. A. jones. 1t is an estab-
lished policy of the L. $. Geological
Survey to assist municipalities and
other public bodies within the limit
alton of available funds. | find,
however, that the problems of Clay
ton are largely of an administrative
and financial nature. You are for
tunate in having the services of Mr..
II. Z. Mum as city manager, for his
engineering training ana ability has
enabled him to solve the engineering
problems involved.
In Perico Greek, the town has a
valuable natural resource that will
furnish large quantities of water Of
low mineral content. This water is
probably superior in this respect to
any well water at present developed
II requires filtration for the remoV-
al Of sand and silt. The cost of a
filtration plant and of the operation
of the plant is an engineering mat
ter that can best be reported upon
by your city manager or a consult
ing engineer.
The previous administrations OF
The town have put down a number
of wells that demonstrate the posi-
bilities of the several available geo
logical formations. The old wells
at the City Hall building were OF
various depths, one of these wells
however, is only i2i feet and inch
es deep. 1t penetrates soil and lava
and extends to the bottom of Ter
tiary sands and gravel. Water stands
SO feet from the surface. This wei
will produce 40 gallons per minute
but is unfortunately contaminated
Similar wells located outside of thu
town would furnish a relatively
cheap supply of water A batter,
of such wells may in the futur,
form a part of the system of water
supply as supplementary to the Per
leo system.

TOURISTS PRAISE COMFORTS
OF CLAYTON CAMP GROUND

In this present day and age when
the automobile has overcome dis
tance and when the east becomes
neighbOr to The west it is well for
the cities through which the tourist
passes to take heed how they mani
fest their hospitality to the strang-
er within their gates, for each Of
them that pass through become a
living, walking advertisement of
each city.
Clayton has been fortunate in
having constructed a very pleasant
camping site and more fortunate
in having a superintendent to well
come the tourist and look after
their comfort.
The News office received a very
pleasant visit this week from a Mr.,
Sanders, of Dallas, Texas, who stat
ed that he was a member Of 4 party
of 10 who were connected with Bay
ton University Hospital, of that city,
and who were on their way to spend
a vacation in the mountains.
Mr. Sanders requested that the
News tell The people of Clayton they
had the best camp ground 10 be
found north Of Dallas and further,
that he would take delight in recoU-
mending Clayton to be a wide-a-
wake and progressive little city.
II has proven a good investment
The few dollars expended for the
comforts of those that pass thru
Clayton will receive much good
from advertising of this nature.
With the citizenship of Clayton
boosting it locally and the tourist
proclaiming its worth as he goes
forth Clayton will no doubt con
tnue to be known as the best of it'
size in the southwest.

Big Russell the emery ball artist
from Hooker, was hammered hard
for eighteen runs. Four different in

walks, seventeen hits and hit two

and Kerr two. Nine different Clay

and nine different Clayton men scor-
ed Texline garnered seven scatter
ed hits off Johnston and scratched
three runs.
Never in Clayton's history was a
pitcher hammered any harder than
was Russell. He had plenty of speed
and when the Grays were not secnr-

them impossible for Texline to han

and many good plays. McFadden
