this point was covered with ice
blocks, three feet high, deposited
from Duck creek by the high waters.
An emergency crew worked most of
the afternoon to remove these ice
obstacles. This condition also existed
on state route 564 below Middleburg
and state route 145 at Lower Salem.

everywhere, but not drop to
drink"

Watershed May Have
To Drain Seneca Lake

1t is possible that famed Seneca
Lake may have to be drained to
correct a trouble that developed
this week.
According to reports circulating in
eastern Noble county, the water has
broken through into old and aban-
doned mine rooms which underlay
the lake and the water is now Seep-
ing out of the Rigbey mine in the
Senecaville community.
Residents of the Kennonsburg
community say that several aban-
doned mine rooms underlay the
lake and it was not too fantastic to
believe that the water was seeking
this level.
If authorities of the watershed
district find this to be the case, prac-
tically the only solution would be
to drain the lake, an expensive pro
ject and one which would greatly
retard the progress of Seneca Lake
as a summer resort
