EXPECT C0Bb0SSEE
WILL Be CLEAR OF
ice SOMETIME TODAY

Veteran observers of conditions at
Lake Cobbosseecontee declared it Is
their belief Sunday that the ice would
go out of the lake sometime today,
or not later than Tuesday. Indeed
there were some who did not believe
that the thoroughly rotten and wa
ter-soaked ice would hold in the lake
through Sunday night.
Saturday and yesterday the change
was remarkable, and Sunday after
noon the stretches of open water
were increased considerably with a
fairly stiff breeze blowing out of the
southwest, piling the ice up into
Manchester Bay and into the bay on
the East winthrop shore. During
the afternoon many new expanses of
open water showed up. and the
movement of the ice fields presaged
a complete disappearance within a
comparatively few hours.
