NIGHT AGAINST LOWERING
- LAKE OF THE ISLES.

Efforts are being made by the Lake

association to- secure a large attendance
for it's meeting this evening at the

Franklin and Dupont avenues, when
the matter, Of lowering the level of
the Lake of the Isles will be fully dis
cussed. Members of the Lake Calhoun
and Shadyside associations are also in
vited to attend. Arrangements will be
made for an ineffective prosecution OF
the injunction proceedings to restrain
the park authorities from taking any
steps to lower the water in the lake,
which are now pending In the district
court and will have the. first; hearing
also be made 80, IRave1 the Views, Of the
association properly presented to the
park board. -
One of The STRONGEST arguments used
by the residents around the lake against
lowering the water is that such step
will greatly increase the low, swampy
area in that part Of the city and thus
M, Hall, commissioner Of health, will
present this phase Of the discussion.
1t is also said by some residents that
the agitation for the lowering Of the
lake originated with stockholders in the
Lakewood cemetery, who hoped to have
Calhoun lowered too, and in that way
the value of their property increased. .
the park board with regard to the Lake
of the Isles is being encouraged by
John Cogan, Albert H. Hall and other
members Of the recently organized
Lake. Of the Isles and Kenwood I'm
