MR. JAMES said he was wondering how much gallonage of water will be used on the golf course. Mr. Gautereaux estimated we will need 925 gallons a minute. MR. JAMES said he was afraid that not sufficient water could be developed by one, two, or three wells, it will take five or six wells going down 500 feet for each well. MAYOR FRITZ asked MR. JAMES if he knew the depth of the Paradise Valley Sanitarium's well and MR. JAMES stated it was 390 or 400 feet and they were pumping 90 gallons per ninute which was sufficient to fill a 20,000 gallon storage tank which they fill once a day. MR. JAMES said he had two wells on his acreage of about 20 to 22 acres. COUNCILMAN CURRY asked MR. JANES if his well was not in a low area, and MR. JAMES said he did not think that made any difference. COUNCILMAN ADAMS asked Ma: GAUTEREAUX if the two different men contacted were not considered the best men in this part of the country, and that 6/7 347 after going over the place felt there was an ample amount of water. MR. GAUTEREAUX said they were of that opinion. MR. JAMES said he had probably had the same experts. COUNCILMAN CURRY asked if the Sweetwater Water Company did not have all the information needed and MR. JAMES said he doubted if anyone had; and COUNCILMAN CURRY said he thought possibly that the Water Company had made a surrey.
