has inflicted heavy political wounds on

Bathing Hours
INVESTIGATION
FIRST ORDERED

Some residents on the borderland
OF Cool Spring Park object 10 after
noon hours for the kiddies in the bath
ing pool. not because Of the bathine
but because Of the tremendous vol
ume OF noise the youngsters manage
TO create.
Nine OF these residents petitiOned the
Board OF Water Commissioners this
morning 10 do away with the bathing
hours after 1 o'clock. At present the
hours are from o'clock TO ~ o'clock
In the morning and o'clock TO 3 o'clock
in the afternoon.
The obiectors wrote that Il is i'm
possible for children or adults living
near the park 10 get relief from the
heat in an after-luncheon nap because
OF the unbearable noise. They wrote
also that It Is bad for the tots 10 go
In bathing so soon after they have eat
en- their MONDAY meal
The Objectors said further that the
majority OF bsthers were not children
who lived in that neighborhood. but
that they came from a distance. That
objection will not be valid, as the city
parks are for the whole city not for
any one neighborhood.
The slgners to the petition concluded
with the statement that they do not
wish to work any hsrdships TO the chill
dren. but II would be a blessing to
the residents II they were not permit
ted 10 bathe In the afternoon.
The petition came as a surprise TO

wish to act without investigating
