Several Major Projects Started At Lake
Lake Drained
! 7 Feet For
Dredging
The water level of Lake J una
I* luska is being lowered for a major
I dredging project. The silt from
the lake bottom will be used to fill
in an area where construction has
already started on another modern
. I 12-unit apartment house.
As the lake level drops about
7-feet, and the apartment house
rises; there are other crews at
nork on the Assembly Grounds on
i other major projects, In prepara
!tion for the 1953 season. A grad
ing crew are making a large park
ing lot back of the new adminis
tration building, and behind the
'Terrace Motel other workmen are
| erecting new quarters for the ho
tel servants.
Dr. 11. G Allen, superintendent,
said the water level of the Lake
will be lowered enough to drain
the upper part of the Lake, so the
entire upper part can be dredged.
Among the dredging operations,
will be construction of a sandy
beach near Highway No. 19 for
the use of the campers at Camp
Adventure.
The flood gates were opened
Friday, and the lowering of the
Lak? level began.
A major beautiflcatlon project
is also underway on the Lake side
of the dam, where a wooded gar
den with walkways, and an over
look to the falls of the dam will
be erected. This project is being
sponsored by J. B. Ivey, a summer
I resident of the Lake. Mr. Ivey
pointed out that too much beauty
is being lost in not being able to
see tfle falls of the dam. The gar
den will be so constructed that
visitors can walk out to several
points, where benches will be con
si ructed, and sit there and watch
the water of the lake tumble over
i I he spillway. This project is to
| be ready for next spring.

L.ambuth Inn is almost completed,
ind a sprinkler system will be in
tailed this fall. Plans are to |
modernize the hotel for year round
jso. A modern kitchen is being
installed, and only last week, some
514,000 in new furniture was put j
Into the hotel. A new roof was i
lecenlly added to the building.
The new apartment house which
is already under construction is
on the opposite side of the street
from the two which were finished
for the past two seasons.
The money for these projects is
roming from the general expansion
program began several years ago.
Dr. Allen said that with the new
facilities, and greater recreational
advantages, it already begins to
look like another banner year for
he Assembly. This past summer
more than 30,000 visitors were
registered at the Lake during the
summer season.
