However, the tests made, in- dicate that a considerable amount of sand has sluffed into the well from the shots made in the sandstone layers and will have to be'bailed out before the new turbine is installed. "As, of this date, we have only enough money left in the contract towork one week: I doubt whether the sand can be removed from the well within that time. "Until we remove the old turbine from the well and start bailing out the sand, we have no way of estimating the amount of sand in the well. "I am requesting 100 additional hours of men and equipment at the contract price of $17.00 per hour or the amount of $1,700.00 additional to the contract, in order that we may have sufficient money to operate until the next Council meets, if it becomes necessary to work that long to bail out the sand." /s/ E'.N.Fletcher' The motion was made by Alderman Tures and seconded by Jackson to approve the additional expenditure of $1,700.00.
