Hotel Successful In Water Search NEW YORK, P After searching for five weeks, a fash ionable Park avenue hotel finally has found what it was looking for a water well. Spurred on by the city's water shortage, the Ambassador hotol had ripped a half dozen holes In its basement floors In the hunt for a well abandoned on the pro perty by a brewery In 1915. That was six years before the hotel was built on the site. Workmen tore up some more flooring, and there was the eight inch well casing, filled almost to its rim with water. Engineers said the well would supply more than enough water to keep the hotel's air condition ing system going, if the city bans use of city water for such pur poses. "We may even have enough to do our laundry with," the man agement said. DOORS : $6.95 to $33.00 : PAGE LUMBER & FUEL 164 E. 2nd Ave. S. Phone 242 THE YARN SHOP 230 N.
