Saturday, the Lake committee composed of Larry Strandquist, chairman, Herb von Eller, Dick Cooling, Chester Johnson, Ken Ebey, Otto Ebert and Elmer Thorp are meeting with the watershed committee which fn^ eludes Dick Cooling, Jim Brever, George Heber, Gene Piotrowski and Vince Day to formulate plans to use the artesian well water from Lakeland subdivision and divert it into the lake to raise the low water level.
