WELLS
The Corsicana, Tex., Development Company, James L. Autry, president, has let a contract to the American Well and Prospecting Company, H. G. Johnston, manager of Corsicana, for three artesian wells, to cost $30,000. When those are drilled, water works will be pushed to completion.

The matter will come up for consideration at a special meeting of the council early next week, when the full reports of the Paddock pasture well system will be made, and the availability of that point as a water supply definitely determined.
