NEED OF HIGHER TAXES FOR CITY PARKS IS CITED Extensive Program and More Property Sweli Upkeep Expenses. An Increased fund will be needed to operate properly and maintain Indianapolis parks next year, according to R. Walter Jarvis, park superintendent. Additional playgrounds acquired, others enlarged and a more extensive park program make necessary a larger number of employes and greater upkeep expense, Jarvis said. The park board asked for a 9-cent tax levy, to bring in $580,000 for park purposes and a 2-cent levy, totaling $129,000, for recreation purposes. The 9-cent request last year was cut to 7 cents, which created a fund of $452,000. Lose $30,000 Revenue Although the park department has rapidly expanded boulevards, increased acreage and playground activities, the department is operating on one-half cent less than that granted seven years ago, Jarvis declareed. The department lost some $30,000 revenue from the Indianapolis Street Railway when the public service commission was created, abolishing the franchise. The immediate park program includes purchase of Casino Gardens for an addition to Riverside Park, erection of a $115,000 Brookside Community House, and a shelter house at Fall Creek and Thirtieth St. Proposal to buy 109 acres of Dr. H. H. Wheeler, for a north side park between Canal and White River, and Boulevard PI. and Washington Blvd. is before the board. Plan Five New Pools Five new $30,000 modern swimming pools are contemplated. They will be located at Ellenberger, Garfield, Haughville* and Brookside Parks, and West Indianapolis. Several new comfort stations and shelter houses are planned. Playgrounds recently were acquired at Broad Ripple, northeast corner Sixty-Third and Broadway, between Olin and Grande Aves., along Little Eagle Creek. Playgrounds in Haughville and near King and Michigan St. are considered.

Swimming Simplified By JAMES A. LEE Athletic Director, Cleveland Athletic Club

— : ‘

Showing how to breathe when swimming. At top, inhaling when face is above water, and below, exhaling through nose when face is below water. I believe every person should know how to swim, because ability to swim provides a safeguard against drowning and affords enjoyment of a healthful recreation. Self-confidence is one of the greatest assets to the beginner. If you are shy of water, you can overcome this timidity by submerging the face several times before attempting to learn to swim. Another asset to good swimming Is ability to breathe properly. All modern strokes are hinged with this method of breathing—in by the mouth above the water and out through the nose under the water. You can master this by the following breathing exercise: Enter the water about waist-deep, bend forward with face near the surface of the water, take a deep breath through the mouth, close the mouth, then duck the head and exhale slowly through the nose under water. Keep the eyes open. Repeat the exercise until free bubbling at the nostrils assures you that the air is being exhaled Without trpuble. NEXT: How to begin.

White River Park Plan Is Disapproved in Paid

Committee From Chamber Wants Flood Protection for Area Provided. Proposal of the city plan commission that the city buy 300 acres along White River between Kessler Blvd. and Fairview at cost of $700,000 for a city park was disapproved in part today by the civic affairs committee of the Chamber of Commerce. A report of a sub-committee, which was adopted by the whole committee, recommends that the city park department “determine upon a general program of acquisition of ground immediately adjacent to the river, from Kessler Blvd. to Fairview Park, buying only such ground as will be needed for development* of a driveway, and occasional bathing beaches, picnic grounds, ball diamonds, tennis courts and other recreation spots. Flood Protection Necessary “Either the park department or the board of public works must eventually provide adequate flood protection. The driveway might be constructed atop the levee.” The report states that the plan commission sponsored the proposal to create the park when it decided a plat for the subdivision of a large area by Dr. H. H. Wheeler called for too narrow streets and lots and would result in a district not in accordance with residence building standards of surrounding property. Decrease Bonding Power The report points out that much of the land for the proposed park is subject to overflow, and suggests that proper levees eventually must be built all the way from College Ave. to Fairview. Should the park department adopt the plan commission’s proposal, the report states, the park power would be so decreased that no other major project could be taken up for years. No Increase in Limit A plan whereby the narrow strip recommendation of the committee be carried out in small sections and and more bonds issued only as the old issues are met was approved. The committee stated that it believed the administration should not expect the bonding limit to be raised by the Legislature again but should regard the present limit as adequate.
