PARK MOSQUIT'O VAR.
The Large Lake IN Prospect. Brook
lam. To Be Cleaned.

While the residents of q large section of Brook
lyn are nearly frantic account of plague
of mosquitoes. which is far worse than any in
recent years the Park Department is going
ahead with n work which will in a large meas
ure destroy one of the largest breeding places
in the borough.
The large lake in Prospect Park is now re-
sponsible for most of the mosquitoes. which not
only infest the park, but spread over Fiat husit
and the Park Slope and Prospect Heights sec
tions This lake which was built I'm 1870. has
never been entirely cleaned. As there is no cut
let the water has never been renewed only
enough being let In to make up for that lost in
evaporation. The result has been that the stag
nant water has furnished favorable conditions
for the growth of all sorts of rank vegetation.
An aquatic plant which came originally from
the River Nile. and was introduced into the lake
about fifteen years ago has spread so rapidly
that navigation has been badly interfered with.
The electric launches and rowboats get entans-
led I'm the growth every day. The top OF the lake
Is covered with AN Ill smelling green scum.
AT their meeting In the Arsenal In Central
Park Yesterday the Board of Park Commission
ers opened bids for cleaning the lake and re-
building about eight thousand feet of the seven
teen thousand feet of shore line.
Superintendent Zartnann's first rough esti-
mate was that the work would cost S21 900. but
ii may take even more than that amount
As the lake has no outlet. the work will have
to be done In sections. Golfer dams will be built.

then he pumped out and thoroughly cleaned.
The bottom will then be spread with clean white
sand and pebbles. which will retard any new
growths Water Will be let in. and another sec
ton of the lake cleaned III the same way
The contractor will have sixty working days
in which TO complete the job and IL will proha =
bIv be October 10 before ID is done The con-
tractor must also agree to keep the lake clean
for one year following the completion of the
work
Then by means of the Fatbush sewers three
or four thousand million gallons of fresh water
will he pumped into the lake every day ar the
bottom, and the dead water will he drained OF
into the sewers from top.
