Milford Worried On
Water Rights Loss
CONTINUED from page one)

kCOulAnuC0 AAOAA R06C OACf
An earlier council had decided
to turn the lake over to the state
agency with the understanding
!. that the Board of Game and Fish
! Commissioners would manage the
lake, clear the bottom of weeds,
control the water height, and main
tain the lake for fishing and general
recreation use.
A spokesman for the Board of
! Game and Fish Commissioners said
/ the council, had in a letter, re-
served the right to use the lake for
water supply in an emergency.
II was also explained by the
! Game and Fish Commissioners
representative that the agreement
had not been signed. 1t was to have
{ been drawn up and executed, but
/ due to the pressure of business, the
: attorney commissioned to do the
work, had not completed the agree
ment. 1t is now being prepared.
Z A further conference of council
members and representatives of
the Board of Game and Fish Com
missioners is anticipated.
Following the discussion at the
council meeting Councilman Calvin
Ball presented the motion that the
transfer of Silver Lake to the state
! be rescinded. A motion was then
made that Balls motion be tabled
pending further study. This motion
? resulted in tie, with four council
members voting in favor and four
against.
Mayor William Murphy broke the
tie by voting to table the rescind-
ing motion until the next meeting
OF council the second Tuesday in
April.
The discussion on the lake fol-
: lowed a report of Councilman
George Adams, who said satisfac-
tory tests had been made for the
; drilling of another town artesian
well on the Douglas Fry property
in northwest Milford. Council ap-
proved the digging of the well
drilling of the well as soon as
, ground from Mr.. Fry can be OBJ
tanned.
. MIR. Adams then reported that a
survey of the proposal that water
from Silver Lake be used after in
stallation of a filtering equipment,
aad shown the project would be
prohibitive in cost.
The discussion then centered on
the question of whether the previ-
GUS City Council had surrendered
water rights to Silver Lake in the
agreement to turn the lake over to
the state agency.
The board of Game and Fish
Commissions had been considering
means of installing new dam, con-
troll gates, and spillway for the
lake.
The Game and Fish Commission
} ers had hesitated to accept the lake
because of the absence of adequate
! public access, but decided to go
ahead with the agreement and take
over control of the lake with the
! expectation of later acquiring
ground on the lake for public ac-
cess, spokesman of the board
said
