Mr. Moss: #3 June 10, 1938. v/ From depth 461 to 488 is limestone, and from 488 to 575 is red clay. What would be your opinion of further perforating the casing in the limestone strata above mentioned, and do you think this would afford us an additional flow? It might be advisable to bring up the rig and pump this well out, in order to free it from sand and I would very much..3 ppreciate your opinion on this also. I am ^ery anxious to restore this well to its original flow and would like to get right after this before we get much further into the coming summer, as a serious fire here in the town or any other cause of an abnormal consumption on top of what we now have would certainly place us in a very bad predicament. Will you please write me as soon as you receive this letter and give me the benefit of your advice, together with estimate of cost for further perforating the pipe or pumping out the sand to restore it to normal flow, whichever you think is most advisable in order to secure an additional supply of water to bring our reserves up to a safe level in the reservoir. Thanking- you, I remain Very sincerely yours, WALTER R. BRACKEN, Vice-President. A i r M a i l
