From Towson the road to Loeb

city when 1t selected Loeb Raven
for its water source. Two small
cotton mill towns were torn down
and moved away. All houses were
removed from the reservation and
the ground was planted with many
thousands of evergreen trees.
Where Carp Abound
The lake abounds with carp
placed in it by the city. They are
a constant source Of amusement
to children and adults who throw
them bread from the dam. The fish
collect around the wall in great
schools and whenever a tid-bit is
cast to them they churn the waters
white in an effort to reach it.
