Water Level Low On Lake

Dear Editor : During the past two years, due to the extremely prolonged low water level of Waw-asee and Syracuse Lakes, caused by the freedom of the appointed “Royal Guards" in [ charge of the dam, the bottom vegetation of these lakes has been disturbed by the growth of tall, spreading, fluffy type of weeds shutting but the sunlight in the growing season and smothering the carpeting mosses' of the bottom that existed before these lakes began to be excessively drained by the gate maniiiplation of the dam. < The bot:om of these shallow Water flats, covered by growth carpeting mosses were the home of the fighting small mouth bass. They ido not inhabit tall weed areas, and with the coming of these tall sun rig weeds they have simply’ moved out of their summer areas, and since these lakes are gradually accomodating the growth of this objectionable tallJregetatiftn over all —ter areas., the small mouth po|xilation in these lakes has I been reduced to a regretable depletion. And. it will continue to become worse if this draining of the lakes continues to. take place, during the spring rain fall, resulting in a lack of water reserve to J sustain the proper conservation water level during the evaporating months of the summer Those of us. who have.lived here for many, many years, and have sense of observation, and a care for the well being of these lakes, know that, this weed situation has ■taken place-and they know the destnictive results of these weeds. Many of the bathing beaches, that were formerly, clean and ideal as ’ the water playground of children, v of weeds where they play and these weeds gather .1 l:h. slime, floating i debris, and it is in this type of th:ng that the children play and if our conservation and health departments call that unobjectionable to the health of throe children, skiers? and others entering the vvater. they better go back to school, again. The answer is Allow high Water •<> jcettmuiMe during the spring water producing months.: and set the igauge.at a vvater level that will ai- , low for summer evaporatkm without reducing the water to. the ex‘•■emeiy 'iovv. water level that would [otherwise take place: and this, no ■ • toms to 'their former type vegeta:t a pleasure to participate in the fine recreation for which these lakes were so well noted in the past. It vva. that way in days gone by before . the building: of low level marsh lots, that the politically fobtbaWxi. Conservation Department at Indianapolis seems to . respect more thim they do the best interest of the ■ ed. ■ ' Martin W. bevernier

Referendum Saturday

(Continued from page 1) I made the unsigned option papers' be' go:ten out and torn up. A motion was made by Mr. Pearl and . seconded by Van Burro .township ■ representative Glenn Brown that the option papers be tom up. Members present voted in favor of the motion with the exception of Plain township representative Brubaker. Upon orders of the board Arch Baumgartner, publisher of The Mail-Journal, tore up the papers, , and board members stated they' hope the action dispelled any ideas > about building the school in Syra- * Dale Graham of Plain township, ‘ a former LCSC board member, stated it was his opinion that Plain township was to be a part of the : Lakeland corporation and it still, is/ .He felt the board should keep Plain township in the corporation I and pick a site for the new school. Board members said they were honor bond to continue since they had brought Warsaw into the maty '■ ■ Mr Pearl stated he thought the > t xrop:e of Plata township should be able to express themselves again. I but. not again and again and again. In regards to the total corporaItkm board members felt they had bden patient with the minor.ty. j 1 Any one townslup in the corporation /is a minority >. Board member Brown reminded those present the board had voted to inve.-tigate releasing Plain towni ship' to Warsaw, however, the board poration. The vote to investigate the :’■< leasing of the 'township came when the board was given the impression that the majority of the Plain township residents wanted this change by board member B:nbak.er. '! ‘Poor Cousins' H Trustee Hartman stated the peoI pie of Plain township didn’t like ’ to be called the “poor cousins" and board member Pearl stated the ■ board' hasn't stiid that and a $6 or $8 and one-half million evaluation couldn't be called "poor relation". Following . other discussions ■ Mr. Brown made the motion as to the I referendum on Saturday and .?, carried. I It was next decided to send a 'better to the oersons on the voters j registration .li.-t. A letter was cbmissue. The next question discussed was whether or not to have the voters sign the referendums ■ or not. Mr. Pearl still was against signatures.-: Mr. Brubaker wanted signatures be ■ cause -the Warsaw board had a>k for them. .Mr Brown felt the same as Mr. Pearl and Mr. Stucuy stated the decision should belong to the Lakeland bevard. A call was made to Carl . Burt, superintendent of Warsaw schools, who stated if the Lakeland corporation was satisifed not to have signatures thro he felt the Warsaw board' would lx? satisfied- Therefore a motion was made and passed the signatures. be deleted and it be a secret ballot. - I members Stucky.
