Show AIR TO BE USED II WELLS TEST Compression Pumps to Be Connected With Largest Flowing Well Today promises to be feature day at the city well in Ogden canyon, Whore tests are b Ing made to acrcl"-rate acrcl"-rate the city's water supply. This non the pumping plant was moved to the largest flowing well and the apparatus ap-paratus applied so thnt compressed air may be forced down during the afternoon . A spectacular sight is expected fo n sill: from the "forcing" of the largest larg-est well and .1 gu-,h r. which will sZioot many feet Into the air, is predicted by the engineers. The publir is Invited In-vited to v. 1 tness the teats. It was an-noueed. an-noueed. Geologists, engineers, government representatives and professors from all parts of the west are at the scene of action and will watch with Interest the tests made this afternoon An accelerated flow has already been obtained ob-tained from the small we'ls but the leets on the large well will probably determine the size of the subtcrrane-an subtcrrane-an lake, which Is believed ti be below the country In which the wells an situated. The tests, which will be completed within a few days, will determine! whether Ogden may be given an al-most al-most unlimited supply of water through pumping from the wells or whether huge sums will have to be expended to develop water projects In South Fork canyon.
