MT. LAKE PARK

very happy Thanksgiving and much
to give thanks for. Certainly all of us
must have something, be it large or
small.
Orders from the Mountain Lake
Water Company on Tuesday were to
the effect that all water would be off
that day. This order came through be-
cause the town authorities were to set
all water plugs for fire protection,
but through a combination of circum-
stances-mostly on account of the
weather Tuesday morning water con-
tinued to trickle through the pipes.
When the plugs are set, which will be
at the end of this spell of weather, it
will mark the first and only time that
Mountain Lake Park has had any fire
protection worthy of note. And that
should mean much to the Park prop
erty owners.
