Salt lake dikes that would provide industrial water vater the report foresees great activity in the ther r region gion and six industries which Mr De Dc Boer b believes could be established profitably They are arc meat packing magnesium magnesium mag mag- potash general fertilizer and copper refining leining i Industrial Zones I A southern industrial zone would be placed along the east shore of the J lake ke because some industries would need large quantities of fresh water Prevailing ailing winds from the south would carry smoke and soot away I from the city over the lake The zone would be served by a park road along the cast east shore Behind Behind Behind Be Be- hind the first strip of or indus industries ries would run a branch railroad d. d A A second industrial zone would be placed
