Continuing, Commander Tanner tole
of several incidents illustrating his be
lief that he brought bad luck to auto

State Board OF Health VIII Listen
Lake Residents.

Tuesday, at which time complaints rela-
tive to the draining OF sewers into
White Bear and Bald Eagle lakes will
be heard
There are a number Of hotels and res
licences about the shores Of these two
lakes and, to large extent, the sewage
luting Its waters. The board Of, health
considers this practice especially dam
gerous, as the waters Of the two lakes

the construction OF cesspools some dis
5tance from the shores.
