Nequasset Lake Dips to Unusually Low Level
Nequasset Lake the Bath water supply source is at its lowest level in years with only 17 inches above the intake and a weekly drop of about one and a half inches. Supt. Walter F. Abbott expects fall rains and standpipe reserves to sustain Bath if levels drop further. The Woolwich dam has been open for repairs to the fishway, hindering lake recharge.

He says youth excess can be redirected by church led stage and pageantry under godly supervision, with music, choirs, and visualization guiding future worship.
