NO HARVARD SWIMMING POOL
On Account of Increased Cost Of Con-
struction, Proposition Has Been
Dropped for Present.

Plans for the construction of n new
swimming pool at Harvard this fall
miscarried. The new pool was to have
cost $4,000 under the original plans
and $4,000 had been raised for the
purpose. But costs of construction
have SO increased that recent esti-
mates raised the probable cost to S25,-
600, and instead of attempting fur
ther solicitation of funds the PROPOSE
ZION for the pool has been dropped for
the present.
