34. • Well 34 is owned by E. M. Cornidh. A valve is provided to control the flow at the surface. A view is shown'" on Plate 4, B. i Explorations were made with the meter on September 6 to a depth of 691 feet below the top of the casing'> about 2 feet above ground. The pipe fittings at the surface :;er3 leaking about 2 gallons a minute during the test, accounting for all the velocity recorded down to a depth of 377 feet. In the absence of the casing record it is impossible to determine accurately what is taking place below that depth. If the well is cased with 6-inch casing, as seen at the surface, down to 380 feet, and there is no casing below that depth, there may be a .leak around the end of the casing amounting to about 5 gallons a minute. In any event the leakage is small and need not bo considered serious.
