Mayor Reports Progress In Racine Well Drilling
Mayor Wingett notes progress on Racine water works drilling for the Grover Salser parcel near the Star Mill site. J A Bowers says the Robinson lot project may be abandoned as test wells favor a new site. Elwell Eng Co reports the new location keeps wells and storage tanks on opposite sides, reducing pumping costs and flood risk. Voters approved a 1947 tax to raise 105000 for the project, with completion expected this summer.
