4. The saving of expense for repairs If the

tion Of the tide, and free from the damage

the only repairs that would be required in
the basin, either to the structures or the
sanded beach, would be those occasioned
by ordinary wear and decay.
B, The proposed beach will furnish a
much larger area-that may be safely used
by beginners and bathers merely those who
do not swim-than could be had anywhere
else by smoothing and sanding a narrow
strip along the shore. And when a place of
swimmer may at any time, If he should be-
come exhausted or get a cramp, let his feet
down and touch bottom without the water
being over his head, 1t is believed that the

largely increased, and the receipts will
probably be increased in proportion.

the diving pool (and none are supposed to

Report of the Association.

The Washington Bathing Beach Associa-
ton, in recent report to the Commission
ers, pointed out the many advantages to be
gained in adopting and improving the inner
basin. Among the reasons given were:
l. The beach If established in the basin
will be wholly cut off from the effects Of
the tide, and the water will always be of
uniform depth, so that one going into the
water at a certain point at one time may
without danger go in at the same place at
any other time.
2 The water being of a uniform depth
OF not more than four and one-half feet, so
that it will be deep enough for swimming
and yet perfectly safe for beginners, no
one can. by any accident, inadvertence,
carelessness or venturesomeness get into
water over his head, as one is always liable
to do where the bottom slants until the
water gets to be Of a considerable depth.
3. The wharves and diving platforms will
be carefully constructed on dry ground,
and will be built solidly from the ground
up, SO that it will be impossible for any
one, by accident. to get under any of these
structures-a danger ever present where
floating wharves or platforms are used.

Commissioners Ask Congress for an
Improvement.
ADAPTATION OF THE INNER BASIN
An Appropriation of$l7,o Rec
commended for the Work.
DIVISION OF THE COST

The District Commissioners have decided
TO recommend to Congress bill providing
1or the immediate Transformation of the
inner basin of the Potomac flats into a
pupnc swimming pool The bill is to carry
with 1t an appropriation of $4,000 for i'm
proving the basin and adapting 1t to SWIM
ming purposesaand the construction Of the
necessary offices and bath houses, etc. One
naiI OF the sum indicated is to be paid by
the United states and one-half by the Dis
tr1ct OF Columbia This action of the Com
mlssloners Is made necessary by the fact
that the officer in charge of public build
ngs and grounds has recommended to Con-
gress repeal of the act locating the bath
ing oeach at its present place an the tidal
reservoir The advisory committee Of the
pathlng beach has long been in favor of
utiiizing the inner basin for bathing pur-
poses and the only thing that has stood in
way has been lack of the necessarv
funds.
The Inner basin" is a comparatively
small body of water, lying slightly to the
northwest of the present bathing beach
site: superintendent w. x. Stevens Of the
patning peach has long had the inner basin
IN view and has urged it's adoption as a
SW M winning lake for a number of years past

move from the old site because of the ex-
fo-iSo VI iiIIii6 up a new peaCu. NOW,

Importance of Public Baths.
In the report Of the Senate District COM
m1ttee, summarizing the more extensive
return OF the park commission, the impor-
tance of public baths and a bathing beach
Is strongly pointed out and it is believed
that pending the future development Of the
great park system which has been planned
and the provision in that scheme of a
number OF bathing places, Congress will
PROVIDE an appropriation to make the in
ner basin available. The bathing beach
mas for so many years been an enjoyable
feature of summer life in Washington to
q large class of the population that the
felt.
1t Is estimated that the cost of improv-
ing the inner basin, which is Just west of
the line of 18th street extended, will be be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000 To make the
basin available it will be necessary to con-
struct two fumes to provide a circulation
or fresh water The plans propose the
grading of the bottom of the basin SO as
to make the depth uniformly four and one
rect, except in diving pool 40 by 500 feet
IN extent, and fenced off from the shallow
water. 1t is proposed to place six inches |
or sand over the entire bottom and to pro- |
vide on one shore sloping beach for the |
very small children. In other places |
will be constructed The plans |

has been in progress for some months

From the reports of the progress OF
The work and the samples OF ore which
