Ice cream and cake Becker compared:the Fox river to the main street of a thriving suburban town where the suburbanites use row boats and outboards instead of automobiles. Even Uncle Sam delivers mail by motor boat which leaves McHenry every day taking mail to cottagers up and down the river. Ffgures on the use of this lake region by outdoor fans are interesting- According to Walter R. Hamberger, the game warden in this section, .400 to 500 fishing boats-ofi Fox lake during a week-end are not unusual. On Sunday one may see 2,000 to 2,500 fishing boats in actio* on the chain of lakes. Checking on this fleet of fisn hunters is no easy task, especially when the state gives this warden nothing but a row boat to fiffet around in, whereas a fast motor boat is a necessity, "if you wish to coxer much of this big "chain and see that anglers are obeying the law. . Becker also brings oat the point that, ideal for the outboard motor fan, the canoeist and the fisherman who likes to operate with a cane pole, this upper Fox river country, crowded as it is, also is the breeding ground , for many mudhens, rails and other valuable birds. He also mentions the lotus beds which contribute a flowery de coration to Grass lake. Residents farther down the Fox river seem to he somewhat agitated over the low water level which prevails "because of the dry weather and they are planning a general public hearing of all civic and business or ganizations possibly next week under the auspices of the FoxyV'alley federation for the purpose or inaugurating co-operative effort towards bringing about a normal water flow of the waters of Fox river, by means of agreements txrfween water power users and authorities in control of the regulatory dam at McHenry. Those in control of the flash board .yStem gt the MrHenry dam are not held responsible for the water shortage by the down river folks as they credit us with excellent co-operation at this point. Control of the flow over the dam is said to be in charge of a Mr. Potter who has maintained close contact with the dam and river •inspector, Mr. Burnett 1 Two eight inch flash boards were removed at the dam the first of the week, it is said, permitting sixteen inches • of water to flow down the parched Fox. According to reports from down river the sponsors of the coming meeting hope to reach a "friendly agreement" so that the flash board control of the dam will be placed upon a "more systematic Basis", and so that "the river bed between the various dams, known as dam basins; club entrance to the club house, for $1,40 a rod of the finest quality They were all good. 4 It seems the girls outnumbered the crushed rock, gravel and sand mixed b°>'-v,^hrough no fault of Mrs- Hoff; all to be put through inch square mesh screens, the Country club offering to stand one-half the cost.
