upon completion of the project and the lake level at maximum height
(which would be 14 feet above that of this summer level); either station-

tion as to number, the bid to be let on the above basis.
The Town Board was asked to make recommendations on the following

Should the Public be prohibited from boating on the Lake, except
through the conceseioner?
Should motor boats be prohibited? Should motor boats be pro-
hibited that mare over 2i H.P.? Would motorboating be desirable
under a permit arrangement? Would motor boating be undesirable from
a noise and hazard standpoint?
Would sail -boating be desirable, if so, under a permit arrangement?
Recommendations on swimming and beach facilities.
