CHICAGO NOTES. 



An Up-to-Date Well. 



Poehlmann Bros. Co. have just com- 

 pleted a lai-ge well or reservoir at the 

 place at Morton Grove. A large iron 

 ring or band with the lower edge 

 sharpened was used to circumscribe 

 the excavation and as it settled down 

 into the ground as the digging pro- 

 gressed, rings of cement blocks were 

 placed one after the other on the top 

 of the iron ring and following it down 

 until the desired depth, 25 feet, was 

 secured. These blocks were construc- 

 ted on the place. They were grooved 

 on top and bottom and ends so as to 

 fit closely and make a tight cement 

 wall. This process being somewhat 

 out of the usual, it may interest our 

 readers to know about it. Anything 

 that Poehlmann Bros, do is always 

 worth considering.
