The Birmingham age-herald., 1921-07-02

A statement was issued yesterday by Dr. J. D. Bowling. city health off cer in regard to the sanitary condition of the Ensley swimming pool which was recently completed and has prov en to be the most popular recreation in the district. pr, Bowling stated aft CT a thorough inspection and test of the water that 1t was in a perfect sanitary condition and the rumors to the contrary were absolutely without foundation. pr. Dowling's report came after visit to the pool Friday morning with Commissioner Brown and City Engineer Julian Kendrick.
 "One cannot help but be impressed with the completeness of the plant operating the Ensley swimming pool and diligence and attention to every detail which might be calculated to safeguard it's patrons and make 1t at- tractive," said Dr. Bowling.
 At the Ensley pool Birmingham city water is used and approximately 25, 900 gallons of pure fresh water is added during each 24 hours to make up for the water lost by evaporation or otherwise.
 There is In constant operation a mechanical filtration plant and yio- let ray apparatus through which the entire volume of water in the pools circulates once during every 24 hours which is expected to keep the water at high rate of purity by the re- mova1 of such filth and dangerous material as may be present and such tests as have been made on water | .oriD urt- swimming pools indictes that the process is highly effective.
 In my opinion every safeguard has been thrown about the Ensley pool which is consistent with customary practice, and there is no basis for the rumors which have been circulated tending to prejudice the public toward the use of these swimming pools."
