The pool was opened late in the sea-

be completed during the spring but 1t

The belated warm weather retarded
the attendance. It was late IN the
summer before it became real bathing
weather. Despite these handicaps. 1t
was a remarkably successful venture.
The pool will be opened May ID next
year until September Is. 1t was not

! the pool this year were not all from
Wheeling proper by any means. The
greater crowds from out Of town came
from Bellaire. and the first person 10
enter the pool upon opening day was
Bellaire woman and the last to
leave the pool on the closing night
; was young woman from that city.
Residents from all over the Wheeling
district and eastern Ohio took
plunges in the delightfully."- refreshing
water. The water heating system
did not operate satisfactorily this
summer. and it was impossible to give

during the chilly days. The heating
