* According to a letter received from Mr. Drew on the 9th May, 1906, the 

 following points may be noted. The engineer's plan shows the bottom of the 

 well to be 100 feet from the surface, and the mean depth of the water is 9 feet, 

 the level of the water being about 91 feet from the surface. The water was 

 tapped in the well when a depth of 91 feet was reached, probably because at 

 this spot the loamy clay was streaked with sand; whilst 12 feet away, in the 

 trial borehole, the water was not tapped until a depth of 103 feet was reached, 

 the clay here being more solid and homogeneous.
