Omaha daily bee. (Omaha [Neb.]) 187?-1922, 1919-06-15

A Later Series of tests were
made to judge the reliability OF
the process over an adequate
period Of time. These tests were
made on alternate days, three
times q week for a period Of three
weeks without renewing the
water. The results Of these tests
showed that with only a few ex-
ceptions the water was delivered
absolutely free from germs.
Reduced to Common Terms
these tests mean that in every
cubic centimeter Of water (which
is just slightly over . third Of
an inch in each direction) there
existed $500 germs; the number
Of germs in this water upon being
filtered was reduced to approx
nately one-half the number and
npon the further process Of ozon-
alton the number Of germs was
reduced to zero. In other words,
with this process, there would be
fewer germs in our entire pool
Of one million gallons than in a
glassful Of drinking water OBJ
tanned from the ordinary city
supply.
The Pool will be constructed
Of reinforced concrete with a
white enameled surface. It will
be dish-shaped except at one end
where provision is made for div
ing and aquatic sports. A spe-
cial method Of constructing the
floor of this pool will eliminate
cracks and crevices, caused by
the expansion and contraction Of
the concrete, which would other
wise furnish pockets where dirt
and filth might accumulate.
Around the pool on the shallow
sides just enough depth Of water
is provided for stepping off from
a sitting position on the sur
rounding curb. A cleaning de-
vice, similar to the well known
vacuum cleaner, with sweep
er five feet long and using
large centrifugal pump, will keep
the floor spotlessly clean.
Two Specially Designed Machines at
the deeper side Of the pool will produce
4 over the entire surface an exact dupli-
cation Of the waves Of the ocean, these
waves rolling to the outer sides in con-
slant succession.
The Cascades ct one corner Of the
snnol - ptlw ,Arptinu %hn uotor
keeps continuous flow OF over 5000
gallons Of water a minute flowing over
them. This cascade will be lighted at
night from underneath, converting itself
into beautiful electric fountain.
Encircling the Pool, the Sand Beach.
over thirty feet wide and with . depth
OF over two feet Of white beach sand,
will be laid ON concrete foundation,
constructed in this manner. SO that the
sand may be kept moist and at the
proper temperature even on the hottest
days.
Surrounding tho Pool and Beach arc
the main walks leading to the Bath

lighting poles and fixtures which will
brilliantly light the walks and Beach,
while special reflectors will throw
powerful rays Of light over the entire
Pool. making It as light and attractive
