VICTORY! WELL LOCATED BY HOLLIS, PUMP TO BE REBUILT

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Well, they found the old well in front of Hollis Hall the day before yesterday, and the yard pump, blown up by the Med Fac in 1901, will be restored on top of it.

Maintenance Department men are at the moment engaged in filling up the hole made in searching for the well, making connections with the city water system, and putting in a cement platform at the bottom of the spring. On this platform will sit an iron tank filled out of the city mains on a float system. From the tank water will be taken by a wooden pump, a replica of the old one. Pieces for this were purchased in various parts of New Hampshire, and the average age of the new water lifter should be 20 years.
