old girl was reported near death
in st. Anthony Hospital today and
deputy sheriffs said her mother
admitted beating her with a claw

separated from her husband Gro
yer. Their daughter Angela suf-
fered skull fractures and severe
decorations on her face and body.

Isparro found the child in a pool
Of blood in her crib in a bedroom
of the GilbertSon home in suburban
Loves Park. A blo0d-stained ham
ner was on the floor, they said.
They said Mrs. Gilbertson had tele-
phoned the sheriff's office and re-
ported the attack on the child.
The deputies said Mrs. Gilbert
son in an oral statement related
that her husband had tried to take
custody of their daughter. They
said Gilbertson yesterday filed
$500 suit against Loves Park po-
lice officials, charging false arrest.
They said Mrs. Gilhertson had had
him arrested Sunday night and he
had been held in Jail overnight.
She was held without charge to-

Carb0nell said that the planned
pool would cost about SIPS 900 and
would be Olympic size. He said
that after investigating the many
pools in Miami, the 75-by 100 foot
size was decided upon.
"As you all know, we can't get
something for nothing" he said in
his discussion. He also stated that
he did not like to see d tax put on
utilities, or anything for a matter
of fact, because after a tax is
placed on an item it never seems
to be taken off.
we plan to recommend that
the tax be put on for a two-year
period only" Carbonell said.
In some of the highlightS of his
discussion, Carbonell said that the
pool would be from the same plans
that the county had, except with
modernization, because the plans
made by the county are about ten
years old. Price for admission to
the pool will be about Is cents for
children and as cents for adults,
he stated. However the amount
paid would be for all-day swim
ming.
County To Give Land
Carbonell also said that the coun-
ty would deed the city the land
when they built the pool.
On the question of colored peo-
pie using the pool, Carhonell said
that they would be taken care Of,
too. He added that the plans we're
to build them a pool for about

On telling of the plan that had
been recommended previously for
bond sale to finance the pool,
Carbonell said that the committee
had given the proposal consider
able amount Of thought and decided
that with all the leagal red tape
connected with the sale, the city
would only end up with about 50
per cent of the proceeds. 5.
Phone Bill Tax
He also stated that the commit
tee had studied and rejected a
plan to tax the telephone bills be-
cause there was already q federal
tax on phone service.
Sam Collins, a member of the

wouldn't be better TO tax telephones
because people who have tele-
phones could afford the tax better.
Carbonell answered that Collins
had a good point, but all he was
asking was that the members Of
the Jaycees think over what he
said. "Sleep on it." be added.
On describing the utility tax,
Carbonell stated that about AZ per
cent of the cities in the nation
now have the tax. He cited Miami
and New York City as examples.
