Trustee Phillips explained that it was felt that this third pumping

Letter as follows:
Gentlemen:
At you/' suggestion, we ape pleased to pass along our comments
regarding additional testing for Well #7. As you know, the sand-
stone for~tions were very hard, and required heavy shooting.
The first pump test brought in some sand. The specific capacity
at the end of this test was about 3.5 gallons per foot of drawdown.
W~ required about ten (10) shifts to lower the sand below the
bridging point.
The second time the pump was operated we obtained a specific capa-
city of 4.2 gallons pep foot of dPawdown. The amount of sand brought
in from this test took about 17 shifts to lower below the bridging
point. The third test yielded a specific capacity of 8.0. A con-
sidsPable amount of sand came in as a result of this test. To date
we have bailed 40 shifts, and ape not down to the bri~ng point yet.
The improvement in well capacity as a result of the successive
tests is readily apparent. We believe additional testing can only
improve the situation. Considerable sand is removed duping the
test itself. As a consequence, the test bowl requires Pebushing
after each test.
Whatever Said is removed by the test pump duping additional testing~
and the sand removed by the subsequent bailing will be additional
protection against cutting out the bowls on your permanent pump.
In general, we find that the first time we remove a permanent pump
for service, bailing is required on the well. This is not always
sand that is removed from the well before the final pump is installed,
the better the well will be, and the better chance there will be

a~ainst trouble with the final pump.
We believe this covers the points discussed during ou/· recent
telephone conversation.
Very truly youths,

is acceptable to the village, you should proceed as follows:
a. Send to the Bureau eleven copies of the map of the
village showing the present corporate limits. The
scale of the map should be at least 1 inch to 600
feet. One copy of the map should show the bounda-
ries and effective date of each annexation acquired
by the village since January 3, 1963. On one copy
of the map the complete corporate limits should be
outlined in color, and the map should bear the
signature of a local official to certify Ihat the
corporate limits amecorrec~.
b. Send to the Bureau a check for $2,020.00~ raade
payable to Census, Department of Commerce, to cover
the cost of the supervisorts expenses~ tabulation
of results, and other items in connection with the
c.State the name and title of the local official

Motion carried.
The Village Manager read the following letter dated
February 3 from the Utility Sewer & Water Co.: Utility Sewer
$ Water Co.
Gentlemen:
The Utility Sewer & Water Company provides water ser-
vice to the area at the south edge of the Village. I believe it
it would be to our mutual advantage to have an interconnection
between the Utility Sewer and Water Company watermain and the
Village of Mount Prospect water main.
The connection could be made at a mutually agreed point
and the cost would be borne equally between the Village and the
Company.
Will you please give this matter your consideration?
Very t~uly yours,
Utility Sewer & Water Co.
Salvatore Di Mucci, President

Committee will meet Saturday to go over technical matters and to
reduce the size of tentative ordinance that has been drawn up.

was greeted by the Board as a visitor.
T~ustee Casterline registered criticism of passage of Payroll
ordinance du~ing his absence raising the salaries of the Board

quest of the retiring Trustee John Bickley and the Board had acceded
