And Work to Start
Immediately
Th- hid of Taylor, Ewart ft Co., of
Cbjea ro, through J. T. Bowman. of
nnW'ii lifcuiatiilRHii for the reeeut-
waterworks bond Issue of $40,000 was
accepted by tbo City Commission Mon-
day evening. on a basis of par and
a<-ortied Interest since the date of the
bonds. *
These bonds are the ones author-
ised several months ago by the Com-
• mission, aeon red by the reoelpta of the
waterworks department, and whlob
wet* sold to a Dallas firm whloh later
forfeited their check of $500, put up
us evidence of good faith, when they
refsred to take up the bonda on their
bid. The Itonds are printed and will
be delivered as soon as the transcript
of proceedings are approve<l by the
buying company's attorneys. The pur-
pose of the Issue Is to provide funds
with which to sink a deep well to the
Trinltv sands In order to replenish the
pr'stnt water supply of the city, and
other waterworks Improvement pur-
poses.
Bid For Well I>t.
A bid for the drilling of this well
-as a -.o let by the Commission at
Monday evening's session, conditional
npnn the bond company's attorneys
approving the issue of bonds and tak-
ing them up; which they are. of course
expected to do. The bid of the Wliite-
<|r«en Drilling Company of Dallas and
Millsboro, which has drilled a number
rnrt deen f**t* In WWtgOs-parts of «tbe
State. wns accepted, apd City Mana-
ger O, J, R. Kllingson was authorised
tn enter Into a contract for the drill-
Iiik <>f n well eight inches in diameter
to thr> Trinity sands, nt a depth of
2 MX) feet or less. Tiie city is to have
the right to test the well for quantl-
tv of flow for fifteen days, nfter
which it may have the option of re-
nniring the drilling company to rearr.
)b > hole to 22 inches for the first 200
feet and set casing of this diameter.
W. T. Renfro. representative of the
drilling company, who wns here,
stated that his company would hnve
machinery on the ground within five
days after the contract is formally
npproved. and that the work of drPV;
ing the well would fake nbont four
months' time. The site of the well
will be near the Fairvlew pumping
M it Ion, City Manager Kllingson
states.
A well to the "Trinity sands is ex-
p'cted to furnish an abundant flow
of notable water, which will rise to
within 100 feet of the surface, accord-
in" to the University of Texas ireolog-
lml report, wh<;h wa« secMed by the
city while considering the drillng of
the well. This sand in Dallas and
other places where wells have been
drilled to |Its depth, has furnished a
much larger as well ns a more perma-
nent flow than the Woodblae sands
from which the city's present siipnl.v
of water comes. Also,the ^ater from
tills sand rises higher to the surface.
Which will lower the cost of pumping.
The letting of the «*ontra<< for this
welt Is regarded by city officials ns an
important step taken to secure a more
adequate supply of water for the city.

THE SITUATION
PROMINENT MILL MAN TAKES
AN OPTIMISTIC VIEW AND
' GIVES COl'NSEI*
Tiie following from one of the lend-
ing manufacturer* and fiuanelera In
North Texas, published In a recent l
sue of tike McKlnneV ConrlerCuzctte
gives the general view of tunny dtl
wns of the present situation:
"J. Perry Knrrus, prominent McKin-
ney business man. udlier, manufactur-
er a ml'•capitalist takes a philosophical
view of the present business status of
our country which Is In process of ad-
justing Itself luck to norma! coiul1-
tlous again after the terrible war p *
riod of tin* past six years. Willie he is
largely Interested in flour milling and
cotton manufacturing, Isitli of which
industries are uow operating under
mofit adverse handicaps, yet lie is not,
perturbed. To ills experienced * Wfv;
m>ss mind. this readjustment Is Inevi-
table and necessary. While all classes
must necessarily suffer in this process
of restoration to normal times, and
living again, yet when we get back on
a peace basis again prosperity will'
reign and nil will l e happy again. We
have a grand country and government,
and we should lie patient and bide
our time patiently through adversity
as we all enjoyed the period of high
prices and prosperity.
"To u representative of tIlls paper
Mr. Burrus said:
"Normal con lit ions are rapidly ap-
proaching. Manufacturers of all
kinds are experiencing a shortage of
orders and this means curtailment of
production. A reduction in the price
of raw material and a reduction also
of wages will naturally follow.
"In the flour mill and cotton mill
industries every plant is either run
ning on shorter hours or at greatly
reduced production^ Middlemen, which
includes jobbers, brokers, wholesalers
and speculators, in many ciises arc
selling their wares at a' price below
the cost of manufacture, based u|>on
the present market of raw material.
"As an illustration, cotton goods to-
day In luaii.Vy lines are lacing sold on a
basis of lfie cotton by johl>ers and
wholesalers while the price of cotton

mand for Hour which no one can ex-
plain bemuse everyone is still eating
their normal amount of food. For the
past two years no one could explain
[the unusual demand for flour and it
wlfS impossible for mills to fill their
orders.
"The outlook at this time is not
very cheerful, because growing out. of
the lessened production, shorter time,
and reduced prices, will come labor re-
duction.
"The people have made up their
minds to buy goods only where the
[prices have been greatly rodwed.
