ON POOL CONTRACT
Commissioners Hold Plans

Formal request that the letting Of

swimming pool at Second and r
streets northeast be deferred for 10
days was received from the District
Commissioners today by Lieut.. Col. u.
:. Grant, Sd, director of public build
ingS and public parks of the National
Capital. The reason given for this re-
quest is that the plans as now drawn
are not in harmony with the treat
ment of the surrounding grounds as
proposed by the municipal architect
When the bids were opened yester-
day the prices asked were several
thousand dollars higher than the of
hcials believed they could spend for
TINS pool. Congress appropria ted $780,
900 for two pools, one for whites and
the other for colored. Col Grant said
that he did not believe that more than
$4,000 could he spent for the white
pool. and the lowest bid received yes
terday asked 100000. In the light of
these bids the plans will have to he
scaled down somewhat in an effort to
get them within the amount allotted

grounds as proposed by the municipal

while the desira bility of an early
decision is appreciated. it is requested
that action on the bids be deferred
