Swimming Pool
and Lake in Sight.
I'AllK 0A1M) AT WOHK.
Fhe Acre Tract on North Side
Tudor Consideration.
PlaiiB are being nindo to trnnsform
the dirt pit just north of Twelfth
Streot into a swimming benc.;i nnd
boating place. In company with M.
J. Forbes, who is enthusiastic about
the matter, the editor vislfod the pro
posd site yostonlay. It is an onions
piece of ground about a block wido
extending from Vino Street nlnuut to !
"Willow just north of Twelfth Street.!
This land was bought by the city,;
some years ago nnd used to supply tirt
for the city tredts. Excavations
have been made on the we3t side 10 a
depth of six to ten feet and to Irregu
lar depths over most of the lot. Street
Commissioner Salisbury says that they
have taken most of the dirt that can
be used from this piece and so the
City Council has transferred the tract
to the Park Board for its use. It la j
proposed to take water from the.'
Suburban ditch on the west, bring U :
down a lateral along Twefth Streot ;
and empty it in tlio lake. tWhen ho
lake is full the check can bo shut or i
,the spillway opened. This is to bo
ocated at the Northeast corner of the
lake and the fall from the take to the !
river is sufficient to allow every drop '
of water in the lake to bo dra.md
when desired. Tho Board has had a
number of plans under consideration
but some of them at least have been
rejected because of sanitation. There
Is some standing water in this hok
now and something should bo done In
any event to drain it. At tho east ,
side is plenty of room for a bath
house and auto park. There has boon i
very littlo opposition to the plan of i
securing swimming grounds for the
city but the delay haa been on account
of the difficuties, which have been met.
The present plan seems to overcome
most of the objections.
The lake will be about Ave acres In
extent and It will furnish a limited
number of canoes end row boats with
n pood pHce for sport. Half 1 e t
young, i.eorle of tho city should be
able to skate on this lake at one time
when the water freezes at the right
-depth. The Park Board, composed of
F. R. Elliott, Chairman, and Messers.
Bare and Thoelecko have been assured
that the cost of tho project will not
be over Ave thousand dollars. Unless
difficulties which nro not now ap
parent, should come up, the 'ako
should be ready for skating with the
coming of cold weather.
