feet OF what 1t Is today. He led up
to the dry periods Of the past sew
eraf years in order to show the drop
of the lake, until the present day
with its very low level. As he ex-
planned the proposition Is to div
ert Ashley Creek into the west end
Of Fairy Lake, and as Ashley Creek
Is lower by a trifle over a foot than
the lake, it will be necessary to
erect dam to accomplish the pur-
pose. There is a place on Ashley
creek where there are high banks
on both sides, and 1t is there that
they plan to erect the dam. This
will conserve water in an artificial
lake and divert enough water into
Fairy Lake to accomplish the pur-
pose desired. The dam will be built
8 feet high, and it is estimated that
in this way 1t will be possible to
raise Fairy Lake six feet or better.
The body Of water thus created
would produce spawning grounds
and a breeding place for wild fowl.
Mr.. Lying stated that less than 500
acres of land will be needed for
flowage rights.
He stated that engineers and re-
representatives. of the Conservation
department has been here and pro-
claimed the plan feasible. Flowaga
rights would be a problem, and in
order to get funds for the purpose
he believed the proposition would
have to be presented to the legisla-
ture. He stated that the diverted
Ashley creek would come into the
lake north of the Heidgerken farm
and he suggested that commit.
! tee be appointed to work on the
project. He continued that having
ditched the water out of this coun-
try, we have learned our lesson, and
now know the need and will act
differently. The committee appoint.
ed to work on the project Is as fol
lows: Oscar Lying, L. L. Kells, B. F.
Dubois, Carl Fischer and AL Mill
er.
The sky line OF Sauk Centre was
discussed and the general trend OF
opinion showed opposition to tn
erection of one-story buildings on
Main Street. It was decided to pc
tition the owners Of the property
, where buildings were destroyed by
fire to erect two-story buildings. II
was stated that both Thos. Sullivan
and r. e. Hansen would erect two
story fronts If Mr.. Hilsdale wyuld
do likewise.
Dues will remain the same as
during the past year, namely $500
to SIS for business men and city
residents and $1.00 to farmers.
