new BATHING BEACH
Better Facilities This Year
;. Than Ever Before.
THE FLOATING BATHS
DESIGNED TO BE MODELS OF
THEIR CLASSES.
>;
Dressing Rooms Are Conveniently Lo-
Gated on Land Dividing Tidal
and Inner Basins.

The many thousands of people who an
nually take advantage of the recreation Of
fered by the public bathing beach will the
coming summer be treated to convenlences
and facilities far beyond anything they
have heretofore enjoyed. The move from
the outer tidal basin just west of the monu-
ment to the inner basin. north of the old
location. has resulted in a boon which, it
may be said, was the reverse Of expecta-
tons at the time the transfer was ordered
by the War Department authorities control
ling the Potomac Park territory. When 1t
was announced that the bathing beach
must be moved to make way for contem-
plated improvements along the shores OF
the tidal basiE- there were many who looked
upon the change being in the nature OF
a deathblow to the public baths. Even
those directly connected with the beach
were none too sure of the future.
There was much talk to the effect
that the inner, and smaller basin would
prove to be unsuited for bathing pur-
poses, and that Congress would not provide
an appropriation large enough to enable the
authorities to make anything of the new
location.
When the District appropriation bill was
taken up by the committees of the House
and Senate last winter, however. there de-
veloped a marked interest in the bathing
beach among the legislators. They were
told Of the great popularity of the beach
at all times, and of it's distinction as being
the only public recreation offered to the
people during the heated term. The repre-
sentatives and senators were told of the
struggle that had been necessary to keep
the beach in operation with the limited
amount of money set aside for it's main
tenance. Congress appreciated the situa-
ton, and not only made a liberal appropria-
ton for improving the inner basin and the
erection of bath houses there. but quite
unexpectedly provided the sum of 5000 for
the construction, maintenance and repair
of two floating baths, to be moored at
points designated by the Commissioners
and the War Department officials.

The Floating Bath Houses.

The contract for these two floating bath
houses has been let and work is expected to
be begun upon them at once, In order that
they may be in readiness for the opening Of
the swimming season. The construction of
these floating bath houses marks an epoch
in the history of the local bathing beach,
and they are confidently looked upon as be-
baths that will compare favorably with
public institutions of like character in the
larger cities of the east.
The floating baths are to be moored in the
tidal basin. some distance off from the
northern shore. They will thus occupy the
best water of the old bathing beach loca-
ton. They will be connected with the
shore by gangways, safely guarded on
either side by rails. By locating the gen.
eral dressing rooms on the strip of land
dividing the large tidal basin and the inner
basin, the most convenient arrangement
possible has been made for the prospective
ba theirs. Emerging from the dressing room
the batherS may make his way out upon the
beach and into the waters of the inner
basin by turning to the north. Turning to
the south he may walk out the gangway to
the floating baths and enjoy dip in any
one of the many compartments with which
they will abound. There will be two float
ing baths one for white bathers and one
for colored. Both will be built according
to the same design, the bath for white
bathers being considerably larger than that
for the coIored.
The new floating baths will be construct
ed along the lines Of the modern baths in
other large cities. They are not to be copied
after any particular ones, however. but
have been designed with a view to making
the Washington product a model for other
municipalities Those in other cities are
mostly moored to docks or anchored at
some prominent part of the river. They
must not only provide the necessary bath
Ing compartments, but must be equipped
with dressing rooms as WELL The advantages
here OF having the dressing rooms on shore

The construction of dressing rooms at the
bathing beach is about completed. Some
few of the better houses were removed
from the old site on the outer basin Most
of the houses have been rebuilt and the ac
commodations are better than were to he
found In the past. In addition to the Dress
Ing rooms on the strip separating the two
basins made available for the beach and
the floating baths a series of dressing
rooms has been established directly across
the inner basin on the northern shore The
inner basin will be graded evenly the
maximum depths in the center being con-
siderably over a mans head. Every safe
guard will be placed about the swimmers
here, and as the area of water Is compare
lively small there should be little danger
Of serious accident.
It is the hope OF the authorities that the
floating baths will prove to be popular. II
is a part Of the public bathing scheme to
acquire more OF these baths as soon as Com
gress will consent to the necessary appro-
priation. and to locate them at various
points along the river. In the event of ad-
ditions being made one would be moored
near Georgetown and another In the East
ern branch.

provided In Rock Creek Park.

creek" he says. was used more than was
any other stream within the District as q
swimming place for boys. The demolition
OF the old mill dams by freshets has left
practically no available pools OF sufflcient
depth for this purpose. It Will. therefore
be necessary to dredge the creek or con-
struct a dam in order that the waterway
may be used az bathing pool am adj
