Add New Well
To Offset Big
WaterDemand
RESERVOIR, NEARING
COMPLETION, WILL
PROVIDE STORAGE

A new well producing an esti-
mated flow of $50 gallons min
ute has been developed by the
Redwood Falls municipal water
department.
Tom Seifert, city water super
intendent, made the production
estimate and his estimates are al
ways on the conservative side.
The temperature of the water is
from As to 48 degrees and the
flavor excellent, Mr.. Seifert says.
The 18 foot well from which 1T
is pumped is located in what is
known as the Fosgate raVine,
one-half mile southwest of the
pump house.
The city's water supply prob
lem, one of many years standing,
will undoubtedly be solved with
the completion of the new half
million gallon water reservoir III
August!
"We'll get ahead of them then"
Mr.. Seifert says, recounting heavy
pumping recently, since there is
not sufficient storage capacity,
although the supply is adequate.
While the new well furnishes
$50 gallons a minute "a hours a
day, two other good wells pre-
viously developed are producing
100 gallons a minute and rs gal
Ions minute respectively. Other
sources of water are the two old
gravity flow springs which give
$50, 900 and 100000 gallons every
"a hours.
With air conditioning plants
draining the supply, city water
employees have pumped $50 gal
Ions a minute some nights re-
Gently.

More Ramsey
Park Changes
In Prospect
FOOT PATHS TO TAKE
PLACE OF ROADS;
$4,000 ASKED

Redwood Falls will ask $4,000
for Alexander Ramsey state park
development at a meeting of the
state emergency relief committee
in st. Paul Friday morning.
Frank Clague, ]. r. Keefe, May
or ]. c. Budik and Leon H.
Brown, city attorney, will appear
before tax and appropriations
committee chairmen from the
house and senate to appeal for the
grant.
They represent the city council,
Redwood Falls golf club and Ram
sey park board who met Tuesday
night at the golf clubhouse to dis
cuSS plans for the development
and maintenance of the tract.
Harold Lathrop, state director
of parks and Reuben Law, district
supervisor of state parks, were
called to the meeting to explain
present work underway in Ram
sey and clarity plans for future
remodeling and development. 1t
was the first official explanation
of construction plans to be pre-
!, sented civic groups in several
years.
ITO Restore Beauty"
A return of the park to its ma
tural beauty and construction of
rustic buildings in keeping with
the surroundings are the aims in
dictated in master plans for the
future development of Alexander
Ramsey. They include stone
shelter, kitchen and concession in
one 60 foot building, located IN
the present tourist park. 1t would
contain battery of stoves and be
so constructed that it could be
used in winter with comfort.
There would also be stone GUS
todian'S cabin in the same area.
The tourist camp, its soil now
largely barren, would be blocked
off in sections for seeding or re-
Sodding to bring back its natural
beauty.
The most radical change in the
park would result from the clos
ing of several roadways, to be re-
placed with foot trails and bridal
paths. If present plans are fol-
lowed the entire west area be-
yond Ramsey falls would be clos
ed to automobile travel and de-
Veloped as a wilderness section
:, Deer would be taken from their
enclosed pasture and allowed to
roam free there.
To Reduce Animals
State officials pointed out that
there are now IL deer at Camden
state park near Lynd. They
wandered into the refuge ano
have remained, although not con-
fined.
The number of buffalo and
other park animals would be re-
duced and they would be placed
in the deer pasture above the pre-
sent buffalo pen.
The section where they are now
confined would be re-seeded ano
planted with trees as most of the
area is fat and should make ar
ideal picnic ground.
Another road change WOULD
come at the west park entrance
which would be placed two blocks
west of Grove street, the present
approach. This would run neal
the John Schmechel residence
the new route eliminating the
danger of the well-worked grave
