Special Meeting
February 9, 1950
A special meeting of the Liirht and Power Commission of the
City of Hutchinson was held on the 9th day of February, 1950, and
all members were present in person.
resident R. I. Sheppard stated that Mr. Robert Melcher of
Layne- Minnesota Co. had requested an opportunity to discuss with the
Commission the matter of the completion of the well being drilled by
Layne- Minnesota Co. under contract with the Commission. He also
stated that he had requested the presence at the meeting of Mayor
Sahr and Alderman Larson of the City Council, together with the attorney
for the Commission and the manager of the Municipal Light Plant.
A full discussion was had regarding the drilling operations of
Layne- Minnesota Co. of the well in the South Park in the City of
Hutchinson, with explanations by Mr. Melcher and Mr. Ralph Young of
the soil formations as shown bsr the tests taken in the drilling. It
was explained to the Commission that water - bearing sand was of such
formation that in the event a Johnson F.verdur screen was placed in the
well and later had to be pulled that such operation could not be done
without destroying the screen. It was further stated that it appeared
from the water - bearing sand formation that the screen would become
corroded, or become encrusted, and would require acidizing, and that
the production of the well would become limited.
After the discussion Mr. Melcher submitted a proposal for
a gravel- packed well, with a guarantee for twelve consecutive months
of a production of 800 U. S. gallons of water per minute. The Commission
obtained an expression of opinion from Mayor Sahr and Alderman Larson,
and from the plant manager, Ralph Young,;. After consideration of all
factors involved the Commission, upon motion duly made, seconded and
unanimously carried, voted to accept the proposal of Layne- Minnesota Co.
to complete a gravel - packed well, guaranteed to produce 800 gallons of
water per minute, for the sum of $4,065.00, upon the following terms;
