DREAM EMISSIONS
$4,000 SWIMMING
POOL FOR DISTRICT

During recess, at its weekly session
Tuesday. night, the mayor and City
Council listened to a glowing descrip-
ton of a proposed swimming pool and
recreation resort, designed for use by
WyandOtte and the entire down river
section.
The speaker was Robert MOrrey. re-
presenting the FOrt-Penn Beach and
Pool Association.
Mr.. MOrrey gave an imposing list of
members in the association, which in
cludes some well known Detroit finan-
ciers and resort owners. He said that
J. B. Ford had been contacted" also
Eddie Guest and others.
The whole idea, said the promoter,
came to some one lin a dream"
Two prettily eOlOred drawings, In at
tractive pastel shades. were exhibited,
showing the proposed pool and build
ings.
The project, an ambitious one. would
be located at. Fort street and Pennsyl-
vinia avenue, on land which Mr.. Nor
rey said had been already acquired.
The pool itself is to measure LOOK
300 feet. and will be the largest one in
the state of Michigan-in fact, three
times as large as any present pool. 1t
will be surrounded by q made beach
of sand, and will accommodate 5000
bathers at one time The bath house is
to measure 75x15O feet. The pool viii
start at one side with a depth suitable
for wading, increasing i'm depth to u
feet at the further side.
Bathing will not be the only recrea-
ton provided for. There will be a COM
plete cafeteria, facilities for all kinds
Of exhibitions, with suitable grand
stands.
Getting down to brass tacks, Mr..
Morrey told something about the fnan-
c;al questions involved. He thought
perhaps the project might be carried
through with WPA aid.
Memberships In the association
would be solicited at $25 per family,
for life. or s. per year.
Asked whether the general public
would be barred from the park, the
promoter stated that would be hardly
feasible There would be special days,
he said, when underprivileged children
would be admitted free Of charge.
And the cost OF the undertaking:
MI Morrey said it was figured at
$12O, 600 1t will be necessary to have
So. 600 before a start is made, and this
1t Is proposed to secure by So cOntiri-
buttons from the entire down river dis
trict
CITY Attorney W. Hugh Williams
asked il there was any provision in
the plans whereby subscribers could
have their money returned II the
scheme fell through. The promoter
thought this could be done In part.
The attorney also said that the
Council rs a whole could not legally
sponsor the project, but that the in
diyidual members could voice their
approval.
Mayor Thomas A. Davis said he
thought the undertaking was worthy
OF consideration.

 Next Year

Today is the 18th anniversary of the founding of the National Red Cross organization by Clara Barton but there will be no celebration of the event in this city. according to Mrs. Edith E. Ladd, executive sec- retary of the local chapter.

 As far as the work done by the local unit ic concerned, Mrs. Ladd caid that her chapter is cooperating with the national organization in it's disaster relief program first aid on the highways and accident pre- vention in the home. Waterbury also has an active Junior Red Cross or ganization, does Braille work with the blind, and provides clothes for men laid. up in the government hospitals.
