Council tells well driller ' go deeper' i "'V" ' . v'V, 1. I IN. v . .- 1 V "? ' J 1 is not without a committment that's crazy," he said. "you said if you went down to 1,000 feet and hit 250 gallons pi-r minute we would pay you $20,000 ($4,000 more thun the originul contract of $16,000 to 700 feet)," Mayor Green said. "You took the gamble, but you haven't played it out yet." "The drillers proposed the $20,000 and that's a premium (for drilling), "the city engi neer told the council. "And if you pay a premium you expect to get results." The drillers and the city agreed to uphold the original agreement, the ycxtra $4,000 will be paid only if the well produces 250 (.p.m. or more.

A representative of the dril ling company was on hand, asking the city for some sort of guarantee that he would be paid additional money if the well is drilled to 1,000 feet, even if the required gallonage is not produced. Earlier when the drillers reached 700 feet, the depth of the original contract, and had not produced sufficient water they told the city they would drill to 1,000 feet for an extra $4,ooo, to le paid only if the well produced 250 gpm. "If I go to 1,000 feet and it doesn't pan out, I don't see it in the cards for me," said the driller.
