Objects to Lake.
EDITOR HUSTLER,

EDITOR HUSTLER,
Dear Sir:-Though at present in the
state of New York I am a citizen of
Hendersonville where / have built up
a pleasant home on West Academy st.
| learn that there is a project in con-
temptation todam up the "Ochlawaha"
and form a lake over the marsh lands
in proximity to that stream.
Now I am not a chronic growler nor
an s'old timer'' or mossbank, who
would oppose, or stand in the way of
any enterprise which is feasible, and
has for it's object the promotion of the
interests or beautifying the surround
ings of our fine and attractive little
city. But u have mS doubts and fears
as to the practibility of efecting this
scheme or project, except at an enor-
nous expense and of doubtful results,
even at best.
In the first place, such a lake, to be
satisfactory, must be deep enough to
drown out the growth of all trees, BUSH
es, water plants, eel grass, reeds and
rushes, pond lilies, etc.. and this
fear would require the construction OF
a great and extensive dam of large pro-
portions and at an enormous expense;
as a weak affair which would be break
ing away occasionally, would be indeed
an expensive nuisance and be very un-
satisfactory. Then besides all this, is
it possible or practicable to cover all
the present marsh or bottom lands so
as to not form additional marsh lands
at the head and sides Of the lake which
would defeat or more han overbalance
all the good accomplished? / fear it
would be o vast frog pond. Do not let
us be deceived by "ioxaway," as the
situation there is very different. Lake
Toxaway is formed in a deep valley;
surrounded by mountain and hill lands;
thus forming PERCEPTIONS, .sdry, and well
defined shores; whereby with q short
dam the most beautiful lake l ever be-
held is formed: though l was reared in
the famous lake country of Western
New York, between the Seneca and
CaYnga lakes.
Now | do not to be misunderstood as
opposing this scheme, but have my
fears that after a careful survey OF the
situation by practical engineers, the
project will not be found feasible.
Better to build sid ewalks and pave
streets. which are a sure thing.
