MUST CLEAN UP OR

Dr.. p. A. Shannon, city physician,
today took steps to eliminate the dis
agreeable odor along the lake shore.
He ordered the city scavenger to
order every boat house owner to clean
up the lake shore near his boat house
and to keep it clean or to move the

bad and lake shore property owners
have been protesting.
DR.. Shannon's action today, it is
believed, will solve the situation.
The boat houses are not entirely
to blame. The recent storm broke
a boom and logs were blown to the
west shore of the lake. The logs and
the boat houses formed pockets and
weeds, dead fish, etc., were kept on
shore, causing the OdOr.
Remove Logs.
The -Grookston Lumber company,
Immediately after the storm, placed
crews of men at work removing the
logs Practically the logs have been
removed.
Several property owners along
the lake shore this morning an
nounced to a Pioneer representative
that they would be willing to act as
a committee to aid DR.. Shannon in
his work in having the lake shore
kept clean. Each year the property
owners have had to contend with the
disagreeable odursand last year sey>
several hundred dollars were spent
by. the city to have the lake shore
cleaned.
Several boat house owners this
announced their intention of
with the city and their
willingness to move their boat houses
if necessary.
