Thomas Swanton, one of the board

at the lake front park bathhouse, sug
gested that some rules and regulations
be adopted to limit the time for the
bathers to RENAL min the water. Some
of them regain in two and three hours,
and even longer. and the result, es-
pecially on Dig days. is that other pat
rons of the park cannot have the use

time limit be set for Sundays and holt
days, at least, John L. Rohde replied
that If such a procedure were adopted
at all IL would have to be uniform for
all the days of the week. Mr.. Ebert
said the large patronage at the bath
house this year was unexpected and Is
due to the unusually hot meather. He
said the provisions last year were
ample and that the bathouse should be
enlarged for next year. For the present
he thought the additional baskets
would give relief on the hot days.
