PLENTY WATER 
(Continued from first page, second column) 
pumped. This water is turned into 
the brook and flows through the 
Channel to the sea. 
The wells are driven to a depth of 
40 to 50 feet. The area of the water- 
shed that is tributary to the source is 
approximately 2.8 sq. miles. Wells 
have been drivenall over this area and 
water flows from all of them. A 
record of each is taken each day. If 
the above results are obtained from 
the 20 wells connected at ‘present, 
what would be the result of twice or 
three times that number of wells ? 
In driving the wells a stratum of 
coarse sand was first encountered 
after passing through the black mud 
of the meadow, and beyond that, at 
an average depth of 40 to 50 feet is a 
stratum of gravel. It is inthis stratum 
the water is found. 
The test is being conducted by 
Supt. F. M. Andrews, of the Man- 
chester water works, under the super- 
vision of the consulting engineers 
Coffin & Thorp, which firm is getting 
out a report to be submitted to the 
State Board. 
The filter test has not yet been 
made, though Supt. Andrews would 
have had this part of the work in hand 
some time ago had he not been both- 
ered in obtaining competent labor. 
He was informed by the labor men 
that he could not use his workmen 
but 8 hours a day. The test will be 
made, no doubt, this fall. 
While there can now be no doubt 
in the minds of the State Board as to 
NORTH SHORE BREEZE 
the quantity of water, their attention 
will now be turned to quality. While 
the amount of iron found is not in ex- 
cess of the average water, it is in far 
greater proportion than in the present 
supply. The iron can probably be re- 
moved by filtration.
