• Speaking to the report Mr. Jackson
said the.Committee had gone very
carefully over the- matter, and all
were of theopinion that a 'test well

convenient 'power could be obtained,
the water could be used for street
watering purposes, as well as fire pro-
tection.
CSmith wanted to know where
we would get the money for a test
well; we must sell the debentures first.
Both he, Coun Graham and the Mayor
took exception' to the report, because
it made no recommendation as to
where the Well should go.
Reeve Gibbinge strongly urged the

thought it would
be better .if the location of the well
was left to an enlarged committee, a
vievithat.was-endersed by Coimeillore
Taylor and Ford as well:
COun Hearn thought that in letting
a contract for sinking a well, tenders
should • be called for, and local men
given a chance. '
After a good deal of pro and con dis-

of repetition, the yeas and nays were.
