GRAVEL FIRM
OFFERS CITY
AT DOOR
Granite Sand Company Will
ing to Turn Over Holdings
North of Sellers Farm.
125 ACRES IN PLOT

Receipt of a proposal whereby the
city eventually would become the
owner Of a lake containing 1875 acres,
within ten minutes ride of the busi-
ness district, which body of water
would be sufficient to supply 100000
600 gallons Of water for the citys
daily consumption and could be made
into a boating, bathing and fishing
spot probably unrivalled by any
similar municipality owned lake in
the country was announced by the
board of park commissioners today.
The proposal came from the Granite
Sand aud Gravel Company, which desires
to turn over to the park department its
gravel holdings situated south Of Ken
tucky avenue, west Of Harding street
and north of Sellers farm. The fnan-
cial terms do not meet with the board
idea and the proposition is to be taken
under advIsement pending further nego-
tiations, 1t was stated.
TEN ACRES
NOW EXCAYATED.
The Granite Sand and Gravel Company
has excavated an area Of about ten acres,
to an average depth Of - feet on the
north end Of its 100 acre tract. Should
the city decide to take over the gravel
land this lake could be equipped with
bathing beaches Immediately.
The gravel company proposes that the
city loan it $4,000 at per cent in
terest TO be repaid in twenty five an
nuaI equal installments, the city TO be
given title to and possession of the land
as fast as gravel excavation is com
pleted. final possession and title to be
bestowed when the gravel IS exhausted.
The board holds that it can not legal
ly loan money to a private business con-
Germ in this manner and favors an
arrangement whereby the city shall issue
$500, 600 worth of bonds, buy the land
from the gravel company and lease It
to the company at an annual rental
equal to the interest, and sinking fund
charges on the bond issue. Thus the
lake as fact would cost the city

HIGHEST AND LOWEST POINTS IN
THE WORLD

The difference between the highest
and lowest points Of land in the United
States is 1877 feet, according to the
United States Geological Survey, De-
partment of the Interior. Mount Whit
ney, the highest point, is l4,501 feet
above sea level, and in Death Valley,
there is depression that lies 276 feet
below sea level. These two points,
which are both in California, are less
than 80 miles apart. This difference
in height is small, however, as COM
pared with the difference in the height
Of land in Asia. Mount Everest rises
29,002 feet above sea level, whereas the
shores of the Dead Sea lie 1890 feet
below sea level, a total difference in
height of 30,292 feet. Mount Everest
has never been climbed.
The greatest depth yet found in any
ocean is 32,0SS feet, the depth at a
point about 40 miles north of the island
Of Mindanao, in the Philippine Islands.
The bottom of the sea at this point
- therefore more than liz miles below
the summit of Mount Everest.
