A Movement to Establish Baths.
The numerous fatal accidents which
have resulted In the drowning Of so
many boys and young men during the
last low years seem to demand the atten-
tion OF our people.
1t has not only been the immemorlal
custom Of generation after generation OF
Wilmington boys 10 find health and en-
joyment IN almost daily baths In our
rivers, but II is . custom which seems to
be in every way q desirable one II 1t can
be continued with safety to the partlci-
pants and security to public and private
rights. Within the last two years, owing
to the spread OF the built up portions OF
the city and the acquisition OF the Bran
dywine Park, the perfectly safe places
formerly frequented by the boys for tn
purpose have been taken away from
them, aud they are now compelled TO use
the very unsafe channels Of the stream.
1t is proposed to raise by private sub
scription a sum Of money for tie pur
pose OF constructing aud locating at
some suitable point or points free bsih |
houses similar to those used IN other
cities. whore the boys msy have q PER.
ieeily safe and convenient place for their
bathing, with the hope that when the
same arc completed the city will accept
aGd use them Tor that purDos'. mskiI z
such rules aud conditions for their use
as will insure the accomplishment OF the
proposed end.
1t Is requested that all who are willing
10 interest themselves In this project VIII.
meet at Young Mems Christian Asso-
,lation Hall on Thursday evening next
It O'Clock, At which time 1t Is hoped
hat com mittees may be organized anu
he practical work begun.
