A sudden rise in the water at Lake |
Mansfield last week Tuesday night is |
thought to be due to cloudburst in the |
mountains as the water in the Michigan

which had never filled the pond before |
poured over the dam with such force that |
about 20 feet OF the outer enbankment |
was washed back to the corewal. The |
people at the lake Immediately removed
planks from the spillway, giving more
room fer the discharge of the water and
the pressure on the dam.
