He altto predicted recreational advantages wilt accrue to both counties by converting the upper bay into a lake, "Land values around the lake would be enchanced due to preference of many to live on fresh water," Fischer added. "There would be no exposed mud flats due to tidal actions and many boatmen would relish not having their craft eaten up by saltwater worms and crusted with barnacles." Wick agreed with Scott that conversion of Lake Seminole has proved effective.

"You can drink water out of that lake without any salt taste any day now," he added. "The state health board permits 500 parts salt in drinking water," Wick said.

NATURALLY SUITED Effect of the 25 charts and graphs presented by Scott was to show the upper bay is "naturally suited" for conversion, Discounting possible existence of under-bay fresh-water springs, Scott said the present in-flow from fresh-water creeks, plus annual rainfall records going back to 1913 show the area would sustain itself as a fresh lake. Even should an 11-month drought occur, the fresh-water level would be higher than the salt-water bay level, the engineer indicated. He said upper bay area measuring. 17 square miles receives fresh-water drainage from a 130-square mile area. "An estimated four or five years of normal rainfalls would sweeten the entire lake area," Wick predicted.
