Interest Taken Towards Getting Swimming Pool.

Quite a little interest is being taken in the proposal mentioned in yesterday’s paper to build a swimming pool. A number of the prominent citizens of the city have expressed their willingness to help out. A subscription paper was started this morning and it is said that if SSOO or S6OO can be raised the city will be willing to furnish a lot which lies back of the residence of F. E. Babcock and they will also furnish water for the pool. The cement can be obtained, it is thought, from some one who is interested at cost. The paper is now being circulated and no one should fail to help in getting a swimming pool which will be a place where both old and young can find pleasure on the hot days. When you look over the subscription paper you will see that the proposition is well supported by men who will see it through.
