Description: A boatload of officials tours the growing reservoir that will soon be named "Huntington Lake." Due to the need to capture the spring runoff in 1913, the reservoir began to be filled before the ground could be entirely cleared of trees. For some time after, floating debris had to be regularly removed from the surface of the lake.
