The situation, which threatened last

due to the campaign recently encour~

to free the 81 the Hlth that now
makes bathing l~nposzibls IN 4 great
many placeskand a danger to health
everywhere along our waterfront.
With an hntiseptic tank to treat the
sewage before 1t is discharged s,to the
water. and then have the pipe extend
five hundred or . thousand feet out
into the bay. our shore would be made
a great playground and a delight to
our thousands of citizens who never
have the opportunity to go elsewhere
for such enjoyment.
The trouble is. the money for mu-
nicipal improvements is appropriated
In the winter time when bathing
beaches are out of mind. The delight
of the thousands who battle along the
bluff is forgotten until another sum-
mer rolls around when the hot
weather drives the thousands in bath
ing again.
Let us keep these municipal bath
ing beaches In mind all the year
through n whatever money is to be
spent for improvements another year
let bathing beaches for the people to
enjoy themselves in summer be made
m of the first things on the program.
This Is something hat concerns
every citizen. whether he lives near
tho water or not. To see the auto
mobiles coming from all sections of
the city during these hot nights carry
ing people TO the bluff for bathing is
to realize how universally popular
municipal bathing beaches along the
sandy shore of the property already
owned by the city along the river front
would be.
