SKATING POND AT MOHECAN PARK
Superintendent Duff Has an Ideal Spot Where About
Two Acres be Flowed for Shallow Pond
Cutting Paths Through Young Wood

This is the season when the Mohe-
gan park presents a beautiful sight,
with its many colored settings afforded
by the turning leaves. There are many
visitors every day, who find it an ideal
place to spend an afternoon.
If the idea of Supt. Duff is carried
out, the park will become favorite
place, both winter and summer For
the past winter or two there have
been many who went to the lake in
the park to skate. but it is a long,
dark walk, and the pond is deep. Mr.
Duff has found an ideal place near the
Greeneville road where a dam can be
built at little Icost and about two
acres flooded to the depth of four or
five feet. affording pond half as large
as the lake, which would be shallow
enough to overcome the danger Of
drowning should one get through the
ice, and yet be more accessible than
the lake itself There is a brook
running through the lot so that there
would be no trouble in flooding the
land.
The superintendent is engaged at
the present time in cutting several
paths through the young wood to the
north of the lake, where there are
