FARGO WANTS LAGOON
City of MayvilIe Prizes Beautiful
Park Lake and Local Citizens
Are Aeitating the Project.

That Fargo should experience no diff
ficulty in establishing a park lake SINH
lar to that at Mayville in similar
way is the opinion of William Pres
cott. In discussing the park lake pro-
ject today he pointed out that condi-
tions here and in Mayville are almost
exactly the same so far as a park lake
is concerned, and 1t would be both pos
sible and feasible for Fargoans to fol-
low the same plan adopted in the Trail
county city and have beautiful lagoon
about the local park
AT MayviIle," he said. "the river
runs near the park and there is a low
piece of ground surrounding the park
as there is here. The ground around
the park there has been filled with wa
ter and fresh supply is kept running
from two six-inch pipes attached to
the artesian wells. There is an outlet
at one end of the lagoon where the
water runs into the river through a
.sluiceway which is placed so that it
regulates the height of the water in the
Slagoons perfectly.
There is a bathhouse on the lagoon
as we'll as a number of row boats, and
the people there get great deal of
pleasure out of that little sheet of wa
ter. Beautiful iriveways have been
built both around the park which is an
island and around the outside of the
lagoon, and these add much to the at
tractiveness of the park
Fargo is q considerably larger city
than Mayville and there is no reason
why the same thing could not be done
here. 1t would cost very little and the
result both from a point of view of
beauty and enjoyment for the public
would be we'll worth the expense.
hope the thing will be done"
