$4,000 LOAN FOR !.
BATHING BEACH
Mayor Keister Proposed to
Have Voters Pass on 81
-- Improvement SF

The long-delayed plan to build
municipal bathing beach took a
more definite form Saturday when
Mayor Keister said in an interview
that he will back a popular loan of
$4,000 to construct this much need
ed city improvement. He plans to put
the loan before the people at the fall
election.
There has been lot of 'stalling'
about this bathing beach," the Mayor
said in an informal interview. Every
time we make up city budget
there is talk of including $1,000 for
u bathing beach. Anyone knows that
$4,000 isn't enough money. We need
$4,000 at least, and L propose to
push a plan to put a popular loan
to this amount before the people at
the polls in the fall.
The new bathing beach is to be
built on the unit system, since plans
are that as the city expands, tho
beach shall also be expanded. :"
