almost completed lighthouses seem
a promise of relief in the days

The park is Maryland's first

bathing available to its citizens
at a State-owned beach. A TOO
acre area with 2 miles of shore
line it is being equipped to make
lockers available to more than
1000 bathers at a time and to
park more than 5000 automobiles.
It is being developed according
to plans designed by the firm of
Andrew, Clark g. Buckley of New
York, designers of the facilities at
Jones Beach on Long Island. The
land was purchased with an ap-
preparation of $3.50, 900. The park
will cost nearly 81 million when
completed.
State officials hope to have the
lighthouses ready by July 4. The
park will be maintained by a So
centS-a-car admission charge and
lockers in the lighthouses will
cost each bather another so cents.
Hundreds of bathers have been
using it since the purchase of
the land in 1949 by driving to
the beach in bathing suits.
The park is just north of the
Chesapeake Bay Bridge. which is
to be opened July 80. It is 80
miles from Washington; 27 from
Baltimore. It includes a large
lagoon where picnickers were
grabbing yesterday. There is a
small grove near the south beach,
but it is not large enough to give
protection from the sun to the
thousands who will be arriving
there on Sundays and holidays.
The lack Of shade is one of the
few drawbacks to the location.
Sewage Plant Delays Opening.
Creation of a public bathing
beach to be used by thousands
involves lot more than making
the shore available. One of the
things that has been delaying the
opening Of Sandy Point Park is
the construction Of a sewage dis
Iposal plant.
The water system that has been
constructed there would supply a
good-sized village. Three wells of
l275-foot depth were drilled, a
water treatment plant with a ca
pacity Of 500 gallons a minute in
Stalled and an elevated tank with
a storage Of 100000 gallons con-
lstructed.
The end product is drinking
water as clear and fresh as that
from mountain springs.
Two bathhouses have been con-
structed. one of the east beach
for Negro bathers which will have
a capacity Of 2,316, and that on
the south beach which will have q
capacity Of 1886.
The beach is a gentle slope. One
