TO IMPROVE BATHING BEACH
OFFICIALS BUSY WITH PLANS
FOR COMING SUMMER.
Tidal Basin May Be Assigned for
Use Of Expert Swimmers.
Other Details.

Extensive plans for the improvement of
the bathing beach and the ground nearby
are being made by DR.. William p. Hud-
son, superintendent. and DR.. William Tin
dali. chairman Of the committee on the
bathing beach, under the direction OF
Commissioner West.
These plans contemplate the use Of the
tidal basin as bathing beach for expert
swimmers. the filling in of the old fish,
Matching pools used last summer for
swimming, the establishment of a large
athletic field for boys under sixteen years
of age on land where the pools used to
be- at 18th and B streets, and the enlarge
ment of the cement pools at the present
site of the bathing beach for use by per.
sons learning to swim.
To Enlarge Cement Pools.
The transfer of the bathing beach to the
tidal basin is not contemplated this sum-
mer, but Supt. Hudson hopes to provide
for the enlargement Of the cement pools
at the present site this summer and to
begin the work of establishing an athletic
two pools are being filled up. The small
amount of money available will preclude
extensive improvements during the com
ing summer.
AS soon as warm WedlHeF dIIlStS u
stay. Supt Hudson said today, the ex-
cavating of the ground between the two
small outside pools will be begun, with
the object of making one large pool 1U
feet long and forty-five feet wide. There
will be a depth of water on the sides o.
four feet and in the center Of five feet
This will afford good bathing place fol
boys. The large pools south of the bath
houses will probably not be used this
summer. as it is impossible to keep the
water clear after the pool has been uset
short time. The pools are regarded b!
physicians and others interested in prope
bathing facilities for the city as insult
able for use as a bathing beach and the.
will probably all be filled. Several of tn
pools have already disappeared.
Athletic Field for Boys.
The ground at 18th and B streets is re
garded as an ideal site for an athleti'

enough for running track. a couple o
