say may eventually employ persons At a special meeting of town council last Thursday- night as surance was given the firm that the town could provide the water needed for its operation Concerned about the reported shortage of water in Newmar ket a representative of the company had given council hours in which to reach its de cision Following tho presenta tion of a report on the water situation by the engineer a resolution was passed which as sured the factory that the town has enough water for immediate use by the factory The company has been told that 30000 gallons per day can be supplied to its plant The said that an ad ditional gallons per day could be immediately available to factory Half the amount will come from a well between Mill ard Ave and Park Ave which produces gallons per day

continues to flow free of fine sand Mr added an additional gallons per day can be added to the towns water supply But Mr added that the two new wells are not 100 percent re liable as water sources because of the amount of soft sand around them which might cause a cavein The degree of neces sity will dictate the economy of use he said In addition the town promised the tobacco company that it would undertake a threemonth test drilling program and that if it wore unsuccessful the town would erect a treatment plant for surface waters thus assuring an additional source of water for an
