Many people go down to the river
during the week to see the road crew
in action, which is very interesting.
The best time. however, to go there
is on Sundays when all the machinery
is idle and thus possibilities of acct
dents are eliminated. One of the in
teresting things there is a sign on the
east river bank which reads "Artesian
Well. The crew which has been
drilling all the way across the river
to ascertain the depth to proper foot
ings for the bridge, accidentally hit
the water vein which rises up about
ten feet higher than the river. The
hole drilled at that point is only 80
feet deep and the continuous stream
of water looks like perfect spring
water, is clear and tastes well.
