an enemy might appear at the last
moment and destroy good govern
ment. The mayor and council have
given much labor and have passed
many important acts.

Wider and Deeper Channel.
The project calls for the widening Of
the channel from 800 to 600 feet at
the upper end to the intersect with
portions at the lower end that now
have width of 800 feet, making a
minimum width of 600 feet clear
through to the foot of Hay lake. The
entire Hay lake CHANNEL will also be
deepened sufficient to provide depth
of 20 feet at the ordinary low stage
Of water instead Of at the mean stage.
This will require the lowering of the
grade about two feet which will give
q 20-foot depth at low stages of the
water. At present the actual depth
Is from 1917 to 10 feet.

Colonel Lydecker says that probably
some clearing out Of the old Lake
George channel will be done. An ex-
animation of the channel will be made
and If distractions are found they
will no removed and the channaI no.
stored to its former condition. The
projected improvements will call for
the expenditure Of about $25O,000.
