Phillips to proceed with a test of
the well at the foot of Railroad
avenue abandoned by Rayonier
when its production fell off to ,a.
point where the mill found it un-
satisfactory for its purposes.
If tests show at least 500 gal—
ions can be obtained per minute
the council believes the city
onier obtained around 4,000 gal-
lons per minute from this well
until the earthquake late in 1940,
but after that the output dropped
so greatly that the. well became
unsuitable for the. pulp mill’s pur-
poses. The mill has indicated its
willingness to turn the Well ovar
to the city if it can use it.
The council authorized a month-
ly $25 salary for City Defense Co-
ordinator Doane Brodie, retroac-
tive to December 1 Wednesday
night, while at its regular ses-
sion last Thursday the council
passed Ordinance 341 relating to
the conduct of people during
