Several wagon loads of sand were
hauled to the Gage park lake Monday
and dumped near the two springing
boards. This will do away with the
mud hole that attained a considerable
growth at this point on account of the
water dragged up there by the bathers.
The bath house has been scrubbed
and cleaned out. If some method of
draining the bath house while it is in
use could be devised so that bathers
would not be compelled to dress stand
