mismanagement of the Saltair beach
resort meets with endorsement and
commendation from all classes Of cit
izens. The resort and its management
came IN for a perfect storm OF oppro-
brium yesterday. all that was neces-
sary being to start the ball rolling 10
bring down a hurricane of abuse on all
concerned with the beach.
Physicians Experience.
A prominent member of the medical
profession in this city related his ex-
periences at Saltair last Saturday to
a Tribune reporter yesterday, and for
insolence and a total lack Of anything
approaching decent management the
gentlemans story is complete. He
was accompanied by his son, he said,
and upon arrival at the beach they
paid their money for 4 bath. The
young man was given n key to O bath
room and suit His father was sup
piled with cotton bathing suit and
upon asking the attendant for "a key.
the reply was; Go and rustic for a
key" A number Of ladies were pres
ent. so the medlco made no response.
They started on their quest for a
room. the youIg man several times
invading the privacy Of ladies In doing
so; that is. he would try a door, and
finding 1t unlocked, would open II an
inch or two. only to find II occupied
by ladies who could not faSten the
door, as the lock was broken. RealiS-
ing that he was annoying and incon-
veniencing other bathers. he discon-
tinued this practice and adopted an
other method. They then found the
room for which the young man had
key, and they decided to try and find
another room which this key would
At and thus make the single key do
a double turn.
Attorney Has Troubles.
While pursuing this quest they met
q prominent attorney of Salt Lake who
had a key to q room and he Informed
them that when he went to the room
he found 1t occupied by another gen.
tleman. Later they met a Salt Lake
merchant, who had gone to the beach
with his family. His children had n
key to one room and he had key TO
another about half a mile distant. As
he did not wish to be separated from
his family In that way he was waiting
until q room adjoining that used by
his children was vacated. intending to
use it, and gave his key to the ener-
getic physician, who had worked so
hard for his bath.
A Handy Safety Pin.
This key instead of bearing the
usual rubber band on 1t. was attached
to q safety pin and that safety pin
was q perfect Godsend, for when the
doctor donned his cotton bathing suit
he found 1t was several sizes too small
for him and the pin was pressed into
use to hold the respective parts of his
habiliment in proper position and thus
appear respectable. Well they bathed
and then they met another difficulty

kin. They could only have one and
no other, so you can imagine the diff
nculty an ordinary man has drying his
body with n table napkin. And, :"
concluded the doctor. "the room was
absolutely filthy, 1t looked as II II had
not been cleaned since the opening Of
the season" And these are the vlcis-
STUDIES bather encounters daily.
