S. al, EXPERT TO
TEST POOL WELL
Services of w. c. Wheeler Offer
ed By Supt. E. c. Bagwell,
Of Savannah

The services Of w. G. Wheeler,
wel; expert of the Seaboard railroad
system, who lives in Americus, have
been rendered to the Americus Play
ground association for testing the
well located at the swimming pool.
Instructions for him to turn himself
over the Playground for few days
were contained in telegram to him
at Savannah, following a request
sent to Mr.. Bagwell by j. Ralston
Cargill, of the Playground associa-
tio4,
Mr.. Wheeler is equipped with
pumps and all apparatus necessary
for testing wells and he will proceed
TO determine just what water supply
if any the swimming pool well has
and render a report with whatever
advice may be proper.
The well was drilled to a depth
of about 85 feet last fall, going
through a stratum of solid rock and
penetrating what experienced well
men believed to be strong flow
of water, although not of the artesian
variety. Whether this water, if it
really is there, will furnish the re-
quired amount of 10000 gallons a
day for the pool remains to be de-
termined by Mr.. Wheeler. If he
finds it to be sufficient this will 'be
highly satisfactory to the Playground
management, but if unfavorable it
will be necessary to drill deeper.
In the meantime Mr.. Cargill and
others interested will go before the
city council tonight to ask the coun-
c!l how much water can be supplied
to the pool by the city temporarily
and on what terms. Some interesting
side facts promise to be developed
at that time, as it is understood some
OF the city officials assert that the
city is now using the capacity of
its water supply and cannot spare
any amount, whereas the representa-
ton has been made to the fire in
surance concerns that the supply is
lneXhaustible. If there is such a
splendid supply in reality, the pool
friends say they feel no hesitancy
IN asking. S2r temporary service at
reasonable figure, considering that
1t fer city institution, and others
point out that if the city's supply is
now being constantly employed with.
out there remaining a good margin
for safety the sooner this is discover
ed and remedied the better.
1t is contended that the Plav-
ground well when completed will fur
nlsh a splendid auxiliary water SUP
ply for the city, available at all
times, which might come in extreme
ly handy in case of large fire at
the Seaboard shops or elsewhere in
that portion of the city.
Mr.. Cargill announced this altar
noon that he had been given com
mlttees representing the three civic
club to appear before the council
