1000 LOCKERS
ON INDEPENDENCE
Private Controlled Bathhouse
Will Be Run on Island Since
City Fails to Act

City council falling to provide in the
budget this year, for facilities for the
thousands of bathers IN the city who
crowd the Susquehanna basin each sum-
mer, e. Charles Ensminger, owner of
Independence Island, announced that a
private bathhouse containing 900 lock-
ers VIII be erected there this spring.
While the announcement that proper
facilities are to be provided this year
met with hearty approval; many of the
thousands of people who have started
campaign for a municipal bathhouse
severely criticised the City Commits
sioners again for not providing for the
evident needs of the large crowds who
use the river almost daily during the
summer for bathing and swimming.
MIR. Ensminger, who is deeply inter-
ested in the development of the river
basin, when it was seen that Council
did not intend to provide bathing ia
cilities, began planning for q private
bathhouse. and work will be started as
soon as river conditions permit.
Rates for renting lockers will be 10
cents for each person, it was said; or
20 cents, including a bathing suit. Mr..
Ensminger is planning. also. to rent
some of the lockers for the entire sea-
SON.
While persons interested in aquatic
sports said to-day that these charges
We're reasonable. it was pointed out
that Council could have saved thousands
of persons this expense by providing
a municipal bathhouse.
The site for the bathhouse on Inde-
pendence Island will be selected as soon
as the ice moves out. and work started
as soon as possible. The cable on the
ferry to the island will be raised to
get more speed for the new boat which
has been ordered.
