Origionally the lake covered about 100
acres Of land. During the past several
years the water has been receding until
the lake bed has been transformed INTO

the owners OF land abutting the lake
bed going TO do about it? Among these
owners are Postmaster Tobin OF this city,
who owns q large body Of land on the
northeast, the Richards, Gresnhagens,
Abrahams, and others. No move has
yet been made to eject the squatters,
