indianapolis bathers will have no
difficulty in finding desirable pools
in any section Of the city if plans
of John E. Minor, park board presi-
dent, are carried out next year.
Minor announced the park board
contemplates construction of large
modern pools on the East, West, and

been ordered for a $4,000 pool in
Ellie berger park and the South and
West side improvements are ex-
pected to follow the Ellenberger
project. Minor said the board
hopes to build a North side pool
later.
I'VE must do something for the

an obligation to furnish adequate
swimming facilities in all sections of

places in the river and creeks" Mil
nor declared.
Broad Ripple Type Favored
The contemplated pools will be
built along the lines of the Broad
Ripple Park pool instead of like the
Bientz type in Rhodius park. The
Broad Ripple pool is level with the
earth and has dressing rooms on the
side, while the patented type at
Rhodius is built on top of the
ground with lockers and showers be-
meath the walk which circles the
water.
Il don't think the park board
wants to build any more of the type
at Rhodius," Minor declared.
The south side pool probably will
be built in the vicinity of Garfield
Park and the west side one on the
new park track at w. Michigan and
