LAKE COOPER NOT
UNUSUALLY DANGEROUS
Major M. Meigs Lays Down Certain
Rules to be Observed to Pre-
vent Accidents.

Lake Cooper is not dangerous to the
careful boatman, is the belief of Ma
ior NJ. Meigs. 1t is more quiet than
most bodies of water OF its size be-
cause OF the protection afforded by
the bluffs from wind. There is no I'M
dertow and even close to the spillways
of the dam the movement is almost
imperceptible. There are certain
rules to be observed and if these are
kept in mind it is believed that acct
dents on the lake will be seldom. Now
there is driftwood and parts of the
old locks above the water which art
dangerous If care is not exercised.
storms and waves from passing steam
boats are also dangerous to the small
er craft.
If the following rules, COMPLIED by
Major Meigs. were observed he be
iieyes there will be little danger OF
accident;
/. Do not overload your boat.

3. Pay attention to the law regard

4. Carry an anchor and IS feet Of

your peace of mind while you tinker

5. II you see a wind coming up gel
