any lake under 120 acres, and limit to canoes, sailboats
and rowboats, or as an alternative, that methods be in-
vestigated to limit horsepower, boat sizes and numbers
of boats On lakes concerned.
The Park and Recreation Commission recommends that immedi-
ate steps be taken to prohibi t all motorized. boat traffic
on Lake Ann.
