He said plans had been worked out whereby no land along the river would need to be rented for the different operations that go with the sand and gravel business, as satisfactory arrangements have been made to get the sand and gravel out by barges, the city being paid for that as well as for the mud and silt coming into the river.

He said the Council would be cautious, in that only on a very few, rare occasions, would it consent to permit motor-boat races, skiing,etc., or anything that would disturb the tranquility of the lake. Any boat races would probably be confined to the area above the Power Plant up to Barton Springs. He said there would be a large celebration in the opening of this lake.
