Upper MorIboro's Old Wells
Dry Up as ] own Shaft Is Sunk
Hotels, Homes, Businesses Without Water
Or Hot-Woter Heat as P. W. A. Well Is DUO

Fortunately, it was explained,
Marlboro is well supplied with run
ming water in creeks In case of fire
Even the county courthouse felt
the dearth of water. Vincent Tai
bert, custodian of the courthouse,
said he had to stay up all
night to keep the trickle of water
coming from the county we'll pumped
into the heating system. Old-timers
said the we'll which supplies the
court has not failed before in nearly
so years
One spot in the town never known
to have been dry before yesterday
felt the aridity gripping other and
newer sections. For years a goodly
stream has flowed into a trough in
front of the war memorial in front
OF the courthouse. There was not
trickle there today.
The new we'll. one of three to be
dug in the development of the new
water and sanitary system, is deeper
than the individual wells in the town
and 1t is believed that this greater
depth has drawn the water to a
level where it cannot be forced to
the surface. 1t is located near the
volunteer flrehouse and several per-
sons who had no other water supply
went there to get drinking water.

BY a sta1 Correspondent OF The Star,

UPPER MARLBORO, Md, Dec. I.
"A mysterious drying up of the
dozens of artesian wells that have
supplied this historic old Maryland
town with water for more than
three-quarters of century today
forced thirsty residents to go to the
volunteer fire house for drink.
Homes and business houses alike
were waterless. Hotels had to apolo-
gize to their guests for the lack of
water to drink and for baths. The
towns only theater had no heat
because there was no water to flow
through the heating pipes. until the
fire department pumps came to the
rescue.
No one seemed to know exactly
what the trouble was. but 1t was
believed that digging of a new mu-
nicipal we'll with P. w. A. funds to
give modern water system to the
town had tapped the main water
basin and drained the supply of the
individual wells.
Although water still flowed in
weakened streams from the faucets
in some homes. the only abundant
supply was to be found at the new
we'll, where pumps were lifting the
water to the surface at the rate of
200 gallons per minute
