The Committee,appointed at the March meeting to devise some <br /> means to take care of the water entering the Cemetery from Main S. have <br /> attended to the same by getting levels run north-west & south-east of <br /> Main St . ; also by procuring plans & levels for outlet through the Ceme- <br /> tery to the railroad. Before adopting any of the above plans ,Csome im- <br /> pna.ctica.ble, others expensive & not satisfactorORe recommend the expert- <br /> ment of digging 3 wells in the basin west of the driveway, 6 ft. in diameter ' <br /> agaL about 6 f t , dee and about 20 ft , apart , the wells to b*roughly stoned and <br /> to cost about $100. for the three ; the gravel from these wells to be used, <br /> as f`ar"as it will go, for raising the road at its lowest point and, perhaps, <br /> for raising one or two lots on the east side of the road. We propose then <br /> to conduct the water in pipes across the cemetery road to these wells <br /> which, we think, will distribute at once all the water under ground coming <br /> from Main St. We would recommend the appropriation of $200. to do this. <br /> We would say that to drain it by Main St. / north-east or south-west lis too <br /> expensive to be considered ; to drain through the Cemetery to the rail- <br /> road could be done�altho' at considerable expense, but we think the R. R. Co. <br /> will not allow us to empty water on its land. We recommend the experiment <br /> of the wells first as it is not expensive and we feel reasonably sure that <br /> they will do the- work satisfactorily, <br /> ee <br /> f <br />
