had to rebuild the center board on my sailboat, and I also noticed, being a biologist myself, that already as of yester- day, swamp gasses are developing - sulfide and other gasses due to the excessive organic matter in the lake. Consequently, no fish can live there any more and I am sure other people in the audience will support this contention but I think we should not go into a very complicated expensive sewer system, but make use of this little playground 1, 2 or 3 days a year and use it as a settling basin to let the water soak in and also improve at the same time the area under the shopping center across from the apartment houses across from the Hamline Shopping Center to see if that water that accumulates below those buildings can be drained off too to relieve the pressure up here. MRS. DEMOS: Where did you mean to drain the water off from in front of the apartment buildings? Where would you drain it to make that relief? MR. JONAS: There's drainage now put in before the apart- ment houses were put in and I think that drainage could be im- proved to run this water up not into the lake (inaudible), but into the small swamp that's completely undeveloped, you see.
