Supt. Hudson. of Bathing Beach,
Files Annual Report.

Recommending that the appropriation
FOR the maintenance Of the bathing beach
be made available May l instead Of July
/, DR.. William B. Hudson. supermtend-
ent. filed his annual report with the Com
missioners yesterday.
The appropriations in other years have
not been available until July 1. and the
beach has not been opened until that
date. In the last year additional pools
were constructed, which added smuch TO
the advantages offered by the beach In
the season the beach was open seventy
FIVE days, including Sundays. with an
average daily attendance Of 458 persons in
the pools
Dr.. Hudson points out, as one of the
most important features Of the work done
by the beach. the teaching Of a large
number Of small boys TO swim. but the
lack Of sufficient funds prevented the
management from prosecuting this work
as fully as Il should have been done.
II is suggested that this branch OF the
government service be called the munich
pal swimming pools, instead of bathing
beach.

NO RATE BOOK
 FOR ARKANSAS

Little Rock, Aug 11-Replying to query from John R. lobe, Auditor and State Insurance Commissioner, Assistant Attorney General Rector has rendered an official opinion in- forming G. L. Meyers & Co.,, General Insurance agents of Memphis, that it cannot issue rate book to it's agents for Arkansas, giving the same rates for the six companies it represents in the state, without it being a violation of the anti trust laws of Arkansas. The insurance general agents desired to issue such booklet to it's sub agents in Arkansas but fearing that it might be violation of the state laws, asked for an official opinion first. The Assistant Attorney Gen. eral states that the violation might be technical but any opinion other than that rendered would defeat the very object of the state law. The opinion states that even though one man is agent for half dozen companies, that man can form an agreement with himself as individual agent for each company to make a certian rate for aaph pf>*,,,~-r-r
