Weed Growth Presents Hazard To Area Lakes (An Editorial) A group of Syracuse Lake residents, organized as ■ the Syracuse Lake Association, Inc*, have been holding periodic meetings -to pursue means of focusing public at- ' S tention on weed growth in area lakes. t The growth of weeds in area lakes has become gravated in recent years, and the group, with Frank Ridenoure as its president, is seeking reasons for the growth in order to bring it to a halt. They are seeking permission'from the department of conservation to stake out areas on Syracuse lake for experimental purposes, to see what they can do as a group to stop weed growth. Mr. Ridenoure said weed growth is a blight on many lakes and renders them useless to bathers and fishermen. The weed growth also reduces the oxygen level bes low six feet, endangering the life of fish in these lakes. Other lake groups are showing similar interest in weed growth. For example, a group of residents ot Long Lake, near Valparaiso, have adopted a lettei-writing campaign to state officials, including the governor, to get action on what is fast becoming an acute lake problem. u Mr. Ridenoure said one of the biggest natural assets the Lakeland area has is its lakes, in bringing summer residents to the area. Weed growth in the lakes can only work to hurt tourism which has proved so profitable to the Lakeland area through the years. We agree wholeheartedly with the concern shown by the Syracuse Lake Association, Inc., and think it is time for the Indiana department of conservation to take positive steps to eliminate growth of weeds in our lakes.
