VERY PROBLEMATICAL
DEPARTMENT INVESTIGATING Inquiries were made of the Public Works Department today and were answered by the statement that the Department was investigating the position. .Dredging operations' by the river drag had excavated material from the river bed 'to a considerable depth, though not, of course; to anything like the well depths. Some wells had certainly shown a fall in heads, though wells driven by the Department close to-' the work and from which boiler and- other supplies are obtained were not affected.
"The position is being closely investigated,!' the reporter was told, "but it is very problematical whether it is as has been stated; for there are various factors l which. may bring about a variation in water, levels from artesian wells."
