Lake Maxinkuckee Its Intrigue History & Genealogy Culver, Marshall, Indiana

1908 Annual Report Sanitation



From South Bend I proceeded to Culver, which is situated in Marshall County, on Lake Maxinkuckee.

I stopped at this place because of several invitations to examine into the sanitary conditions of the lake and give advice to the people who live there.

The authorities of Culver also asked for a visit in order to confer in regard to the drainage of the town.

Upon arrival I was met by the health officer, Mr. W. S. Easterday, and with him met the town board. We discussed for some time the subject of sanitation, and then made a general survey of the town, walking through every alley and street.

"We finally advised the authorities that Prof. R. L. Sackett be employed to make a survey of the town, with the end in view of supplying it with sewers.

It was finally agreed by the town board that this would be done. pg.138
