Fee Deposit Tubes

No Lifeguard on Duty - Swim at Your Own Risk is currently posted at the Lake Waukewan swimming area in Meredith, located a short distance from the Lake Waukewan boat launch ramp here in Meredith.

Why not install a fee deposit tube at the launch ramp and use the money for lifeguards? It seems like a simple plan to me. Boaters already get beautifull Lake Waukewan, an incredibly attractive ramp area, with parking nearby and all for no charge....it's all for free provided by the Town of Meredith. Charging boaters ten dollars would be a bargain at twice the price....and the money could readily be used for lake oriented expenses like lifeguards and milfoil control.

Forty dollars in materials, mostly steel plates, according to the U.S. Forest Service reference above, plus the service of a skilled welder, is what it takes to construct a fee deposit tube, so's most likely there's people in Meredith capable of fabricating one.
