WYLIE, TEXAS AUG— 1 1923 WYLIE, TEXAS
The council met in Called Session in the City Atty's office and was called to order at 6:30 pm
by the Mayor with all members present.
The mayor stated that the meeting had been called for the purpose of considering making a
payment to McKee Drilling Co on their contract for drilling the water well, a dpth of 2500 feet
having been reached, and to authorize the drilling to continue until the paluxey sand was reached
and drilled thru or to a depth of 2800 feet as per contract with the drilling company. The
question of making a payment to the Drilling co at this time met with disapproval, as the contract
with this company was construct to mean that the well must be completed; that is, cased off an
tested etc., or drilled to a depth of 2800 feet before any payment of money is made. Mr Weeks,
Mr Hightower and Mr. McKee, representatives of the Drilling Co were then called in and
advised by the mayor of the councils action on their request for a payment at this time. Mr.
Weeks accepted the decision agreeably, but commented that he had hoped to receive at least a
part of his money. That he was going to make the city a good well if it could be done within the
2800 feet. Motion was then duly made and seconded that the Drilling Co be authorized to
continue drilling until the paluxey sand is drilled through, or to a depth of 2800 feet. Motion
carried. (See p inserted Typewritten and posted)
