32. Well 28 is owned by W. M. SWeet. It is provided with a valve to control the flow. The meter was lowered on September 1 to a Depth of 363 feet below the top of the valve, about 2.5 feet above ground. When the valve was closed there was a small flow in the well — amounting to about 2 gallons a minute. The water cams up from a depth between 345 and 363 feet, flowed over the top of the 6-inch casing at a depth of 9 feet, and thence went down between the 6-inch and 8-inch casings. It probably escaped from the well by passing through or under the 8-inch casing. Well 29 Well 29 is owned by Henry Deadrich and is on ground above the level to which the artesian water will rise. The meter was lowered on August 31 to a depth of 222 feet below the top of the casing, about one foot above ground, and no underground leakage was found. Well 30 Well 30 is close to C. A. Bryant's house, and the land surface at the well site level is about the level to which artesian water will rise. The well was explored on September 1 to a depth of 226 feet below the top of the casing, about one foot above ground. • There was a very small flow in this wall. The water came up past a depth of 226 feet and escaped from the well at a depth of about ?Well 28 148 feet.
