Rocks Wanted
For Cartside
Lake Riprapping

Farmers and t~ownspeople who
can possibly haul rock to Cart
side Lake during the next ten
days are urged to do so so that
critical rip-rapping on the dam
can be completed. Then on Sum-
day, September, 80, at loo p. m.
volunteers will again be asked
to help in placing the rock and
to haul some rock located in the
Crane area. Several farm hands
and trucks will be needed the
Both. The rocks can be delivered
anytime and should be dumped
on the spillway next to the main
fill of the dam, starting from
the upstream side. This is the
critical area that must be COM
pleted to protect the dam from
water running through the spill
way. Any type or size rock can
be used.
According to Sportsmen Club
President Waldo Merrill, the
downstream fill will be completed
in the near future. This will
make a four to one upstream
and two to one downstream slope,
adequate for the lake. Other
items that must be completed
before freeze-up are covering of
the control pipe, trickle tube rip
rapping, spillway work and more
gravel for the face of the dam.
