If you doubted that, the muni
cipal swimming pool would be a
civic asset, a trip to it yester
day afternoon would have con
vinced you otherwise. We went
out about 5:30 and it was so
crowded with people that one
could hardly see the water. It
is estimated that more than 600
people en joyed it between open-,
ing hours, and closing time
yesterday.
And Saturday there were al
most aj many people who went
in.
That mean s that some 3000
to 3500 persons will use the
pool every week.
It's a great thing for Griffin
there’s no getting around It.

And one must compliment
City Manager Bridges. Superin

ally know how to do things
right.
