LAKE REPORTED
ADAPTED FOR FISH
The President’s Message
J. H. Bush, F. D. Macpherson
and Emil Messing made a trip
to Lost lake Monday morning
to see about the feasibility of
stocking it with fish.
They report the lake to be
as large as the O.-A. mill pond
and deeper, with plenty of feed
to support a lot of fish.
At present, they report, there
are no fish in the lake at all,
which they describe as a nice
little body of water high upon
a mountain. It is fed, as far
as can be noticed, by one little
stream which trickles in, and
apparently has an underground
outlet, for the level of the lake
remains about the same through-
out the year, Mr. Messing states,
and is not dependent on
amount of rainfall at any
ticular time.
NUMBER 72.
TUITION FUND
REDUCTION HIT
The St. Helens school board
decided Tuesday night to make a
formal protest against the re­
duction of the high school tuition
fund in the budget for 1932.
$45,425.19 was asked of the
budget committee by Miss Eliza­
beth Murray, Columbia county
school superintendent, who held
that amount necessary to care for
the 225 pupils registered in non­
union districts. The budget com­
mittee allowed $38,154 which is
$7,271.19 short of the require­
ments.
Alex Kerr, chairman of the
school board, and H. B. Ferrin,
city superintendent of schools,
will present the protest to the
county court at an early date.
