about 75 meters, the approximate limit of the well-drilling outfit 

 used. The geologic formation is estuarine and littoral, consist- 

 ing of clay, sand, and shells with intercalated layers of sandy 

 coral. Logs with the bark still adhering were encountered at 

 a depth of 65 meters. 



There is a small stream about 2.5 kilometers from the town 

 which might be utilized for municipal supply if properly guarded 

 from contamination ; at any rate, the chemical character of the 

 water and the location of the stream present no obstacles to 

 the development of the project. 



A short distance from the old town of Pinamalayan, and far- 

 ther inland, a new town site is being developed. Four wells 

 were recently drilled here. A good flow of water was obtained 

 at a depth of about 50 meters. The water is of good quality and 

 should prove suitable for most purposes. 



WATER SUPPLIES OF CEBf 



Good progress has been made in supplying Cebu Province with 

 potable water. The city of Cebu has recently completed a res- 

 ervoir and water-distribution system which is one of the finest 

 municipal waterworks in the Philippines. Excellent springs 

 are abundant and are much used in spite of the fact that many 

 of these are so located that they are not available to very many 

 people. At the present time nearly twenty towns have well- 

 developed projects for utilizing springs, as shown by Table II, 

 the data in which were supplied (November, 1914) by the pro- 

 vincial district engineer's office. The money necessary for some 

 of these projects has already been appropriated.
