TO UNITE TWIN LAKES.

Movement on Foot That Will Beautify Notre Dame University Campus. South Bend. Ind.. June 21. A movement is on foot to unite St. Mpry’s and St. Joseph’s, the twin lakes at Notre Dame university. This arrangement would result in a beautiful sheet of water fully a mile in length, which would add beauty to the campus.. University authorities feel the time is not far remote when the merger of the two bodies of water will be effected, lakes were dredged it was suggested that they be united. At that time, however, it was feared that, as a result of such an experiment the grounds would be swamped- and the brothers’ home would be completely isolate’d. That fear is now mitigated. Constant filling in has so elevated the low level that it is . only a matter of trial. It is proposed to .span the cut with three bridges. One for vehicles, which will be reinforced concrete. The other two will be rustic in character and will be suported by stone arches.
