Summary

The March 1965 Beaver Beacon reminded fishermen to remove ice shanties from lakes and streams before the ice became unsafe. It warned against burning the structures or allowing them to fall through the ice and asked owners to remove them from the beach as well.

Evidence and limits

Sources

  1. Reminds fishermen that structures must be removed from lakes or streams before ice becomes unsafe, says owners may not burn them or let them fall through the ice, and asks owners to take shelters home rather than leave shoreline eyesores. It is a published warning, not an enforcement record or independently verified legal citation.
