The Well driller�Mes:�rs Hoeg & Ames report they have sunk
5 or 6 test holes for water at a depth of from 150 to £�00 feet

available at that depth. >-��..� � /��d.

to be giving out, to supply the quantity needed at the present time.
After due and careful consideration, it vas moved by

around 300 feet deep, be bridged at about 600 feet, this being
the point where a good supply of water was reached at the time,
and that the firm of Hoe & Amea begin at once and plug this
well, and then begin tes�ing the same for supply at the depth
above mentioned. motion carried. �}y� bc,� yz-.-.c..
