Of the Ocean Pointers is being real
lied. A swimming pool Is soon to be
built. Before the summer is over
Ocean Point can boast Of first class
bathing facilities. The movement
started Tuesday morning when sub
scriptions amounting to nearly 500
were made. and only very few peo-
pie were interviewed concerning the
new project. The exact amount Of
money necessary is not yet known, be-
cause the place has not been chosen
and the difficulties to encounter are
not known, but by a careful estima-
ton Of one of the directors about $3.50
will do the trick" The pool will be
started as soon as the matter has re-
ceived the earnest attention Of the
ohcers and directors Of the Associa-
ton In regard to the situation and
other details concerning the construc-
ton. The news of the surety of
bathing pool is being received with
delight by the Ocean Pointers because
before this time there was no good
bathing place. After the completion
OF the pool even more vacationists
than already come here may be ex-
pected. With its new bathing moo,
Ocean Point is due for big boom.
