Map, lake levels pagt 34. BROOKFIELD, Wis. (UPI) -The mayor of this Wisconsin town Is hauling his own drinking water in his auto and the president of the Common Council thinks carrying things a bit too far.

The two are next door neighbors. Both their wells are dry. The situation arose because Mayor Franklin Wirth and Com-mon Council President Thomas McCartan had different Ideas on how deep a new sewer line should be. Wirth wanted it 12 feet deep. McCartan Insisted on a 32-foot depth.

THE COUNCIL, backing engineering: studies which said the best depth should be 32 feet, ordered the deeper sewer line. In the Wirth and McCartan neighborhood the new sewer line dips to 32 feet deep. The water table had to be drained for the Installation. Consequently the two wells dried up. Wirth started hauling water in his car, McCartan said, "The mayor is only looking for sympathy." McCartan is getting his water from another next door neighbor.

The well was put in last year and It Isn't dry. "He (Wirth) can get it from that neighbor aUo," said McCartan. Referring to Wlrth's water-carrying auto, McCartan aald: "It's just a publicity stunt." fee -r.
