    25. Well 15 is owned by Mrs. Myrtle Tate. The flow can be controlled. The meter was lowered on August 24 to a depth of 425 feet below ground, * and no underground leakage was found. :The test showed that a small flow of water that was escaping through fitting at the surface during the test was coming from a depth of 370 to 390 feet. There seems to be a reduction in the size of the casing from 8-inch to 6-inch about 10 feet below the surface. Well 16 Well 16 is owned by Helen Nagel. It is on ground that is higher than the level to which the water will rise by artesian pressure. There are indications, however, that the wall has flowed in recent years. The well was explored with the meter on August 26 to a depth of 368 feet below the top of the casing, 5 feet above ground. A very slight movement seemed to occur between depths of 150 and 200 feet. ’Well 17 Well 17 is owned by James Filboy, well driller, who intends to make repairs as soon as possible. The flow from the well is under control with the exception of about 30 gallons a minute that flows out between the 6-inch and 8-inch casings. The meter was lowered on August 24 to a depth of 618 feat below the top of the valve, about two feet above ground. Wall 15
