Finds New Lake Floods
Farmland

They've run into a snag at the
Van Buren, lake and it isn't any
snag caused by the fish nests which
were constructed on the lake bottom.
The difficulty lies in the fact that
when the lake is flooded the water
backs up onto private property east
of the area purchased by the state
for the conservation lake.
Heavy rains of last weekend
filled the lake for the first time and
caused the water to overflow the
banks of Rocky Ford creek which
feeds it. The overflow flooded the
woods owned by Mrs. Dora Flana-
gan, a mile east of of Van Baren
and just east of the lake.
