Honorable City Council

Vernon, California.
Gen tlemen ::
We submit.herewithEstj.mate No.4. in totalamo'Qnt
$62,571.00, being .the fina~ cost of Wells Nos. 9 and 10, respec-
ti vely, compl~ted'QnderSpecifications No. ..l41... for the City of
Vernon by ~arber-Br&dgeDrilling Corp., 'Ltd., under contract
dated December 18, 1946.
Without qualification, we reconnnend that Well No.. 10,
located at l.!ltthStreet and Downey Road be' accepted.
With reference to Well No. .,9, located on Fruitland
Avenue, some. 700 feet westerly from Downey Road, somediffieulty
developed in the final stages which might or might not. be trouble-
some and costly to the City at some future time. A,fter pumping
the well for 155 hours the sand bucke.t brought up some stones
about hen-egg in size and too large to have entered the well through
a normal size perforation cut.
This indicated some unwanted hole> in the casing. so the
well was again pumped an additional 31 hours as a test for
seriousness of the trouble. This pumping dropped about 8 feet
of sand to .the bottom and the sand bucket brought up about two
dozen.more of the out...size stones, thus confirming the trouble
but indicating that it might not be too serious.
Beeause of this apparent-defect, however, I can only
make the qualified recommendation that Well No. 9 be accepted
providedtheeontractor first furnish the City a satisfactory
guarantee .against .loss or expense because of undue sanding of the
"Well or failureofa section of the casing.

The attached letter from Mr. Louis Barber, President
of the contracting firm purports to make such promise; to be
effective for a reasonable length of time, which letter, it is
recommended, be referred to the City Attorney for such action as
will expedite final acceptance of the well,as well as give the
City reasonable protection in the matter. The well is satisfactory
in every other respect, the tests showing about 2200 gallons per
minute with 100 feet of drawdown.
