MUST CLEAN UP OR
MOVE IMMEDIATELY

s=z DR.. e. 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
boat houses Immediately. -~---
Citizens Protest.
The odor along the lake shore dur
ing the past few weeks has been very
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
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 odgr and last year sew
several hundred dollars were spent
by the city to have the lake shore
cleaned.
Several boat house owners this
morning announced their intention OF
cooperating with the city and their
willingness to move their boat houses
if necessary.
