"Once the boys sat up on the front

Then they went up on the porch OF

that and told them they must stay
around the Jail yard"
Nevertheless, the sheriff asserted
that his charges were never allowed
to leave the Jail premises without a

The prisoners were sent here when

BATH|NGPOOLB BIDS
OVER ALLOWANCE
Low Offer Reaches S104,-

Only $150,00O.

Construction of the first of the series
of municipal bathing pools, planned as
a result of the closing of the Tidal
Basin Bathing Beach, struck snag
today, when bids opened at the Office
of Public Buildings and Parks were
found to be considerably higher than
the amount that officials believed they
could allot for the pool to be located
at Second and r streets northeast.

Congress appropriated $150,0O0 for
two pools. one for the white popula-

bids for which were opened today.
AS a result. it was indicated that
it probably will be necessary to scale
down somewhat on the plans as al
ready made. perhaps reducing the size
Of the pool and cutting out construc-
ton work here and there which the
engineers do not believe necessary
for the maintenance of the pool.
Should the Government accept the
lowest bid submitted today. it would
leave a comparatively small amount
for the construction of the proposed
new colored pool. and it is desired to
allot the money in as nearly equal
amounts as possible.
The other bidders and the amounts
