As you know, for many years the Water Company has spent considerable money in endeavoring to increase the present water supply, cleaning out and improving the production of existing wells insofar as possible, and installing larger pumps on most of the wells. This work has now reached the limit of its possibili­ties, and we know of no other development which can be undertaken that would result in the increase your letter. in water supply asked for in It is obvious from the statements of Mr. Montgomery that he has made a study of this situation and has developed a plan for increasing the water supply for the coming summer season. If he will submit such a plan to us, showing in detail just what he recom­mends, and the cost thereof, based on his engineering experience or mtaetntteart ivoeu r biedasr lfy rocmon sciodnetrraatcitoonr.s, we will be very glad to give the Yours very truly, /s/ Wm.
