TO START WORK ON
BATHING POOL FOR
THE SOUTH SIDERS
Roosevelt Park Swimming
Place to Riual Bracken-
ridge and San Pedro.

Work on the new swimming pool for
the South Side, at Roosevelt Park
which is to closely rival the munich
pal pool at San Pedro Park, is to
begin Monday morning. according to
announcement by Mayor John w. To-
bin Saturday afternoon. Decision to
start work on the pool, thereby carry
ing out plans which Park Commission
er Ray Lambert has had in mind for
years. was reached at special meet
ing of the city commission Friday af
ternoon. Construction will be speed
ed up all possible, Mayor Tobin said.
and unless unforeseen difficulties are
encountered, it should be completed
within a short time.
The pool is to be of concrete con.
struction, similar to the one at SAP
Pedro. The first plan was TO dredse
the San Antonio river in Roosevelt
Park and make pool similar to the
one in Breckenridge Park. Upon in
vestigation, however, the city officials
decided that the river water, after
having passed through the city and
received the water from the storm
sewers, is not fit for bathing pur-
poses. Construction of a concrete poo
was decided upon.
Construction work is to be simpli
fled because there is natural res
ervoir in Roosevelt Park adjacent to
the river. This will eliminate the
necessity of extensive excavating and
will save the city considerable money
in building the pool. The reservoir
which is close to the playground. will
be shaped up and concreted both on
the four sides and on the bottom.
Springboards, and diving devices the
same as are used at the other pools
will be installed. The pool will b.
approximately $50 by 80 feet.
1t has not been decided. Mayor To.
bin said, whether the pool will be fed
by water from the city mains, or
whether the city will drill its Own
well on the ground. In view of the
fact that it is necessary to clean the
pool at frequent intervals, he said
the cost of the water would be an
important item. 1t may be possible
however, he said. to drill shallow
well and by using an electric pump,
keep supply of fresh water running
into the pool at all times. The waste
water could flow into the river. Bs
going slightly below the bed of the
river the mayor believes an adequate
supply of water can be obtained.
As soon as construction of the pool
gets under way, it is understood thar
work on a bath house for use of the
bathers at Roosevelt Park will be be
