| During the summer of 1918, thu
municipal swimming pool was a great
attraction and on hot days it wa:
thronged by appreciative citizens.
Not only the boys and girls of school,
ages, but women and men from stores
banks and factories made good use OF
this equipment. Automobile parties
from Marshfield, Stevens Point and
| other cities drove to Grand Rapids on
numerous occasions to participate in
| this enjoyment, end citizens of neigh
boring villages were seen at the pool
almost every day.
The Commission provided LARGE
opening for water supply through the
new concrete dam and it was there
fore possible to keep a heavy flow of
fresh water through the pool during
the hours when it wa; in use. The
water is drawn out every night and
lefilled the next morning There rs
a constant outlet Of water over the
top of the gate at the south end, and
thus the impurities which naturally
float on the surface, are carried away
This continuous circulation of water
guarantees a clean supply without
creating a current which is danger
Gus.
There is great present day move
ment along the line Of public parks,
play grounds and recreation places of
all kinds. To improve and beautify
our swimming pool would be in har-
mony with this general movement, in
fact there is great demand for such
improvement on the part Of the peo-
pie of this city, who have observed
and participated in the enjoyment
which these facilities have already af-
forded.
To satisfy this demand, consider
able amount of work is necessary.
Plans are already under way for the
immediate construction of two new
bath houses and for the making Of
public park and play ground of the
adjacent lands fronting TIE river.
