FRESH SUGGESTION
Would Release Belle Isle COngeS-

AID. Dngeman held a lengthy CON
ference with Assistant Corporation
Counsel Atkinson, Thursday, relative
10 the calling Of special session OF
THE Board OF Estimates to make pro,
vision for lettering facilities at the
Belle Isle bathing beach, to raise
funds for track foundations on Ker,
cheyaLaye. and TO provide for the
paving Of intersections on streets
where payements nave becE peti-
toned for
In an off,hand opinion Mr.. Atkin-
son said he believed this plan could
not relieve matters, the law providing
thar the Board OF Estimates meet at
certain stated times, and that the
money allowed shall be raised by tax
alton. Since the tax rolls have been
made up this method of raising money
appears impossible az the present
time
Aid Dingeman is anxious 20 relieve
the congestion at the Belle Isle beach
as soon a. possible In case the mat
ter goes over until the regular meet

money will not be available until

matter goes over until April, the esti.

he said
In line with his Belle Isle bathing
beach program Aid, Dingeman has
plan for enlarging Detroits bathing
facilities by the use OF an entirely
new beach.
He will present a communication
70 the council Tuesday night, ask
ing that steps be taken to provide
the necessary accommodations for a
bathing beach near the site OF the old
pumping station at Water Works

Il understand there is a nice beach
there, and, at very small expense,
arrangements could be made for the
comfort and convenience OF bathers,
he said. Il believe that this will go
a long ways toward relieving the con
gestion al Belle Isle, and will offer a
place convenient TO a great many peo-
pie who do not wish to go 70 the ISL

amount asked for intersections by ap-
proximately 100000. Since that time
paving amounting to about 100000
