Due to the fact that our permanent rtf. pump for well which is a 15 HP, will not be delivered by the Manufacturer until the latter part of August 1951* we rented a second-hand pump and motor from the Water Well Equipment Company, motor being a 20 HP* We interviewed different Pump Companies in an endeavor to obtain a temporary pump and motor which would produce 1600 GPM, which is the amount the permanent pump will deliver, but were unable to find a pump to meet these conditions. The temporary pump produces 1605 GPM, whereas the permanent pump when installed will produoe 1600 GPM. R. L. ADAMSON JUN J3&& '?W*' &
