Gentlemen
A condition has arisen at Pokegama
Lake which required the prompt at
tention of your body, in light of adj
vices received from the State Game
and Fish Department, on Saturday OF
last week.
Hundreds of tons of dead fish are
today causing a menace to the health
of the community, lin this section as
whole and more particularly at
Pokegama. Fish by millions have
been washed up onto the shores OF
Pokegama Lake and are decompos-
ing rapidly. The situation is very
grave one from a health standpoint
and is becoming more serious every
hour.
We have been advised by the Game
Department that the cleanup work
necessary to remove this grave men
ace must come through your board
| and further advices call for the most
prompt action possible. Individual
efforts to remove and bury fish from
| privately owned shore front, are
GROSSLY inadequate at this time
Shore front owned by out of town
people is going to present more
| grave condition as each hour passes
unless some concerted effort is made
to remove the cause.
The Department of Fish and Game
| has been requested to send men here
to look over the field and advise as
| to means, and the State Board OF
Health has also been appealed to and
| it is expected that they will have
IMAM or men on the ground today
This call for assistance from the
| two state departments has been made
extremely urgent and we hope will
| bring some prompt action.
The whole proposition centers
about the matter of the public health
and welfare. The cause is perhaps
unknown at this time, but no matter
| what the cause, action and prompt
| action is very necessary.
Respectfully submitted,
| Us. Fritzen, Albert Ausmus, w. F
