ME* SHAMBKROSBi For ten or fifteen dollars they 9 m buy a little j pump which returns the water and the only water they lose is by evaporation and that would perhaps ears a hundred "V,Y- ; !• '3!BSHr ! thousand gall; ons || a day and if that were daved it would do a great deal of good ia correcting the situation that you have here in he summer* It woul^ also make the people water conscious. That is what we are trying j to dCNgr&du&lly get the whole area around here water conscious eo that ve ©an get some of these wells flowing unrestricted for years capped, and in tlento get feet some of the wells that are losing water underground plugged because the time is coming when the water will oease flowing to the surface. There are two or three differed elevations of these aeqnsfors under ground* The water company must go down eight hundred feet and apparently they are not being so much affected by the degree of pra sure of the shallower wells* We hove been keeping monthly checks on about 30 wells, fhe main well dropped seven fast a month* Some of the wells are gradullay j dropping and in the winter time they will build up, but in a tea year period there is a dropping of about ten fast in the one well* Thera should be acme regulations on these coolers. There are lots of thaa-home made with eroelsior and water running through; the water atr*iw»e through and then goes into the sewer; audit, probably accounts for a million gilona a day, 11* SMTTHt It is your opinion that through the oo*K>pesation of th< water company and the city that sufficient water could be conserved to serve not only all of the area within the city limits but a city of at least double the population of X** FegaaT A, I don't say the present capacity oould, but it is clear that t could be developed* 47
