At a meeting of the Syracuse Chamber of Commerce, the main topic of discussion was to interest the U.S. Department of Commerce in locating on Lake Wawasee the $50,000 fish hatchery which is to be built in Indiana this year.
Sites having gravity water supplies will be favored. In a recent survey, it was found that there will be plenty of water and enough head to meet the requirements of the department of commerce at the proposed site on Lake Wawasee.
