girls in attendance at al OF the
Fairgrounds. In 1915 the total num-
Der of girls under 10 years old at
the fields was 14.O14, while in 1916
10 was 2.4O5. For girls over 10
years old the figures are 1915, H.
ass; 1916. 23.67O. For girls over

6,S6S; 1916, 1907. In 1915 a total
of 2.39S baths were taken at TIE
playgroun~ while in 1916 there
were $500.
one OF the largest increases shown
is in the number OF boys over IL
years old who were at the play
grounds. In 1915 there were only
20,756 IN this class. while this year
there were 35,142.
Seven Fairgrounds were main
tanned by the recreation department.
this year. two more than during the
preceding summer. The increased at
tendance according 10 Mr.. Barnes,
proves that the people appreciate
the value OF the Fairgrounds.
Cost il Greater.
Mr.. Barnes is working now on the
financial report OF the Fairgrounds
for the past summer. Although the
cost Of operating them this year
will be more than in 1915. owing to
the two additional fields and the
need for more directors. il is be-
lieved that the expenses will be less
than the amount provided for in
the departments budget.
Next summer probably will see a
municipal bathing place A start
was made last year by opening a
small pool in the river at Leeper
park with Eduard Kcenig in charge,
but this place does not accommo-
date adults. A floating bath house
to be located in the river opposite
Howard park possibly will be in
stalled next year.
