Magnetic water pipe question spurs arid find at Central depot
A detailed report describes Mr. F Harris of the A & M railroad discovering a magnetized iron pipe at the artesian well near the Central depot. He notes a clock dipper clinging to the pipe and suggests testing by replacing with non magnetized pipe to see if water percolation through a magnetic mineral layer affects the water. The article also calls for sidewalk repairs near the Hotel Windsor on Jackson Street and mentions county tax assessments and local officials.
