PUBLIC POOLS
Following is a reprint,
with permission, of a news
item published in the Char
lottesville Daily Progress,
Wednesday, July 20, 1858:
Funds to build two public
swimming pools in Chariot
tesville-one at McIntire
Park and the other at
Washington Park-will be
sought here in the near flu
ture. w. A. Barksdale,
chairman of the Community
Swimming Pool Association,
announced today"
"Barksdale said Negro CT
vic leaders and other inter
ested persons would canvass
the Negro population for
funds for Washington
Park pool at the same time
a campaign is underway for
McIntire Park Pool"
"a joint committee has
been formed for the pur-
pose of building the two
pools when City Council in
dictated it would not have
funds available in the near
future for construction of
municipal pools. However,
both pools will be operated
by the City Recreation De-
and will be open to the pub
lie"
ga study is currently I'M
derway on size and cost of
the pools. At a meeting yes
terday afternoon, the COM
mittee voted to await City
Council action on a propo-
sal to employ a. recreation
expert to determine future
recreation needs of the city
before taking definite ac-
ton on size of the pools. |
Council is to vote on employ
ment of a recreation official
for the survey at it's next |
meeting on August 3. The
S u vey would determine
need, location and size of

Barksdale said the COM
mittee had already receiv-
ed approximately $500 in
gifts for the pools although
no attempt had been made
yet to acquire funds. He
said numerous civic clubs
had indicated a desire to
sponsor public events to
raise funds and the clubs
