The crying need at Ocean Point is
proper bathing facilities One lady
was heard to remark that if there We're
bath house of some kind where one
could change ones clothing, it would
| be a pleasure to take in the bathing.
| 1t might be remarked also that if less
money We're spent in preparing the
roads and little in cleaning away the
accumulated rubbish about Burnham'
! cove, with the possible construction OF
tide pool and bath house that Ocean
Point could offer an irresistible attfac-
| ton in the way of beach that would
draw all kinds of crowds from the
neighboring resorts. This could also
be made into a paying investment for
the association if a merely nominal fee
were charged for the use of house. All
such sources of amusement and reve-
nue. should not be overlooked when
Point improvements are being consid-
| cred.
