126 Third Annual Report of the Conservation Commission 



prepared by the legal bureau and plans to put this work into 

 effect are under way. 



The small appropriation which was made was not sufficient to 

 complete the required survey. The land adjacent to the lake has 

 been located and monumented. The land along the feeder canal 

 has not yet been surveyed, and a small appropriation should be 

 made for this purpose. There are areas of land best suited for 

 farming and not desirable for camping sites, which should be sold. 

 In some places, the cottages are very near together. This condi- 

 tion is bad, both from the sanitary standpoint and from that of 

 fire protection. If approximately ten cottages were removed, it 

 would result in greatly relieving the situation. The matter of 

 sanitation must be carefully considered, and a method provided 

 for the disposal of garbage and refuse. 



Classification of the area is as follows : 



Cultivated 89 . acres 



Pastured 64 . 3 acres 



Highway 11 . 4 acres 



Unused 29.4 acres 



Occupied by cottages 18.8 acres 



Cemetery .1 acre 



Miscellaneous 9.1 acres 



Total land area 221 . 1 acres 



Total water area 501 acres 



Grand total 723 . 1 acres 



Respectfully submitted, 



C. R. PETTIS, 



Superintendent of State Forests.
