H.James Gut next reported on the condition of City Well No. 5 outlining two
possible methods of procedure to save this well,l; to drive the casing through the
shell where it now ends down into the rock, which will probably result in different
quality water being obtained, and 2 : to clean out the shell which has partially filled
the casing and then screen the end of the casing and thus prevent further shell being
drawn into it.

action to be dependent upon conditions existing when this work is done.

r
Engineer Fred T. Williams next advised the Commission that the new Federal
WPA project for sewer constructiion is ready to be started except for the materials
for the manufacture of the pipe and suggested as a means of expediting the work that a
quantity of 15 inch concrete pipe heretofore manufactured for the water plant and not
needed at this time, be loaned to the project, to be returned as soon as the new pipe
has been made.
Suggestion approved and the loan of this pipe authorized.
Mr. Williams next presented a proposed WPA drainage project, partly in the county
and partly in the city, and including the surface treatment of the Country Club Road
from the present City limits to the ACL RR. crossing and Hardy Avenue from the Country
Club Road to Geneva Street, Mr. Williams requesting that this project be sponsored by
