Editor Evening Telegram: I¢ seems that Lake Morton drive is just now taking its periodical bath, to the sur- prise of some of our citizens who have not lived here so long as I have. 1 have been asked to state what I know about it. The natural outlet for Lake Morton is via what is now Chiles street. | have seen it run over at that point for months at a time before there was any ditch there, the water in the lake standing at what was then termed the timber line, which was about where the fences on the west, south and east sides of the lake now stand. Later there was a ditch dug about where | Chiles street now is that lowered the lzke about eighteen inches below the :prnsent level of the water. This ditch was through private land and several times became partly filled up ir cultivating the land and was finally filled up entirely about the time the road was graded along the east side of the lake. There has i becn no need to open it since until | now. We have had five or six years that the rainfall has been much be- low the average. If the rainfall for fa few summers to come should be {up to or above the AVOTARe, some out- let will have to e given for the ex- { the lake abandoned. 1 know of sev- eral cases where the well theory of drainage has proved a failure in this section of the country; it works where therg is a strata of rock lay- ing close, under the surface, Several years ago Bartow drained a little swamp with that kind of a well and introduced typhoid fever germs into ker city water. Lake Morton should i be lowered twelve or cighteen inches below where the water now stands ! by means of a twelve or fifteen-inei i tile running' far enough down Chiles [ street to answer the purpose. The i\vmor should net bhe lowered too imuch for we need it when these dry years come. | will take this oppor- tunity that there has been quite a little talk of making a sure- enough drive around Lake Morton, | not a little play-like trail, but a real | street sixty feet wide. Are we ready [ for it? Don't say ves tog quickly. for it's a man’s job. You will have to (build asea wall cor lake wall) and { pump multiplicd thousands of yards O sang from the bottom of the luke Lt i in behind the wall and make [ the street. Bug won't it be a beanuty { when it is done? Say, let's do Lak i Morton that way and Lake Mirror ithat way and Lake Wire that wa, and {Parker and some at Lake ilolling: | worth for a little park at each place, ’IIX up a little and stop people from | saying nature has done a great deal for Lakeland but you folks haven't ‘dnno much to help out. Much encrgy, | some money and a pull all together | ang it is done. Oh, yes, it will take a lot of hard work, but some of us | are not very ornimental, so we might | at least be usefnl. ! N. A.
