Bayfield correspondent) Association voted to have this Preliminarysteps to, build up a beach belowPioneer Park and adjacent. lakefront properties were commenced last week. Zf you wonder about the stakes driven into the lake eight feet apart, about 20 feet from shore, in a line with the bank from the pier, extending southbelow the ' 1Vfetcalf property—they are what are known as creepers. The- waves wash the sand in and the creepers break the" force of the water So that the sand and gravel gradually builds up. The other stakes set in from them at various spots, which at a casual glance remind one of the setting of pond nets, are called stoppers. They prevent certain currents washing the sand and gravel out again. Directors of the Pioneer Park scheme put into operation after H. -II. Ormond and 'Miss Jessie Metcalf investigated the project at Bright's Grove late this sum- mer. They were quite convinced that it was better than a groyne which the Association had con- templated building in an effort to prevent erosion below the park. The work is • being done under the direction of J. H. McLellan,. Wyoming, who initiated, the Scheme at Bright's Grove. When 'the first row of stakes has done its work, another will - be added farther out. ' The last row, to hold' what has been built up, will be of oak piling. Mr, Mc- Lellan hopes to have the ,work completed before winter. Adjacent lakefront property owners are be- ing asked to join in the project of making a permanent wide beach to prevent erosion, MURPHY BROS.
