Wells plugged in two counties exhaust appropriation
The 26000 dollars set aside by the state legislature to plug abandoned artesian wells in Chaves and Eddy counties is exhausted after 16 wells were plugged. W. M. Ervin, assistant state engineer in charge, notes that seven wells in Chaves and nine in Eddy were treated, with more money spent in Chaves. The last plug occurred at the Marshal property near Dexter, three weeks ago, and remaining funds were used for repair work. Water level rises have occurred in both counties, attributed to the plugging effort, though exact savings are hard to measure. Three contracting firms supervised by Ervin completed the work, begun in November 1951.
