Norbeck defends state capitol well pricing in open letter
Redfield South Dakota candidate Peter Norbeck asserts in an open letter to A. B. Sessions that the state capital well drilled by Norbeck and Nicholson cost 6.17 per foot, while Pierre city wells were 3.00 per foot, attributing the higher price to larger size materials and labor. He details construction specs and argues the price reflects scale and quality rather than graft claims tied to Geo. W. Mean and the Wells controversy.
