Leonard Cumberland nineteen years old

.BATAEaS few LAST SEASON
BEACH POOLS TOO SHALLOW
FOR REAL SWIMMERS.
Supt Hudson in Report Suggests
Plan to Provide Boys
With Suits.

William B. Hudson. superintendent OF
the bathing beach, submitted his report
to the Commissioners yesterday after
noon covering the bathing beach season
from July 1 to September L. 1908. Dur
ing that time Mr.. Hudson says that the
total number of bathers was 1850. The
total money taken in and turned over by
me to the tax collector was $780, he says.
This money was collected for the hire of
suits. loss of tags and rent of private
lockers.
Upon taking hold of the beach," con-
tinues Mr.. Hudson, Il deemed it unwise
to continue the further use of the old
pools. and Immediately set to work to
construct two small cement pools which
could De supplied with the regular cl-y
water. These pools were about As feet
long, &c feet wide and 3 feet deep. and
from about July 10 to the end of the sea
son these were the only facilities offered
to the patrons of the beach. Consequently
the number in attendance fell off con-
sderably, as swimmers prefer deep water.
and 1t therefore became more q swimming
school than a swimming beach. l am in
clined to believe that the construction
of the small pools and the instruction in
swimming is a step In the right direction.
and trust that in the coming year we may
be able to do a greater work along that
line.
The number of boys taught to swim
was approximately $50 during the bathing
season There were no fatalities. The
action of the Commissioners In allowing
the superintendent to furnish the children
free use of suits was fully appreciated.
and while it had tendency to cut down
the revenue of the beach 1t enabled those
children who could not otherwise provide
suits for themselves to have the chance
to learn to swim. | think the system In
use in Philadelphia would he an ideal one
here. Tickets IRE furnished to. boys with
ten five-cent spaces about the margin, one
Of which is punched upon payment of )
cents each time the boy goes in swim
ming. A suit is given him, his name put
on it. and when he has the ten five-cent
squares punched the suit becomes his
property. While this may entail additional
clerical service at the beach, | am sure
the hygienic value would be worth any
amount of money that might be spent"

nit him to erect a building 10 feet high

appropriation for suburban sewers to con-
denim a right of way for the construction

nue. and Rock creek through land belong
ing to James Elverson. Counsel for Mr..
EMERSON claimed that the right of way

ers to institute proceedings for condemna-
ton of sites for schooihouses, fire and
police stations. or for rights of way for
sewers or for any other use authorized by
Congress when the same cannot be ac-
quired by purchase. did not apply because
Congress had not particularly authorize ed
the construction of the sewer in question
That view prevailed In the court below

cision and it was remanded for new trial
