The event drew a crowd of some 1,500 youngsters of all

natural slope of all lots

restricted area for adequate

problems. I think that most

personal opinion is that

BsyMe: The lake board really
has no control but can file
with the proper authorities as
violator and conditions are
found. Help from the public in
locating these conditions
would be of great im-
portance.
Wendersem: Lake Murvaul is
our principal source of
potable water. Pollvtion in
the form of row sewage or
drilling mud contaminates
such as barium and chromium
are health hazards to all who
drink the water. Pollution can
not be swept under the car-
pet. Issues must be met and
dealt with on an individual
basis in accordance with
health standards and the
laws of the State of Texas.
Lenkferd: The first thing that
would need to be done is to
hove the complaintant come
before the board with eviden-
ce of sewage being dumped
and I think everything
possible should be done. The
board would have that in-
formation available or know
who to contact in handling
the matter properly.
Meris: I would contact the
lake engineer and inform him
of the complaint and then the
board would take further ac
tion if necessary.
