tention of the county commissioners
yesterday.
Opinion differs as to the cause of
the unusual heighth of the water.
Some aver that il is caused by the
cement base for the screen. Others
say that the screen or its base has
little TO do with it. as the solid base
is below the bed of the outlet any
way. All admit that the elogged
screen has its effect. but with that
removed it would allow the lake to
lower only about six inches at most.
l.. G. Hawley. deputy game warden is
authority for the latter statement.
1T lis said, too. even when the water
is pot running over the dam, that the
waves throw gravel up into the out
let i'm such name that the water
could not get over it without rising.
There are witnesses to the effect
that i'm series of dry years there is no
water in the lake TO run out. and the
present high level is solely due to
the recent great amount OF rainfall,
and that the outlet of low slope and
small carrying capacity could not let
the water out to the norma. level in
any reasonable time anyway. There
are champions OF both sides of the
controversy. and il will require some
expert to decide the cause.
The commissioners today express
ed an intention of viewing the site.
but did not set any time. The board
considers that il may be necessary
for them to lower the bed of the out
let. If this is done it will neeessitate
the removal of the fish screen. But
this cannot be done until an opinion
is obtained as TO the boundaries Of
the lake as a meandered body of
water.
