At 5:30 o'clock Baburday morning |
he five big swimmings pools of At-'
lanta went into commission, and a |
host of bathers paid the necessary
dime required of those of 14 years and
over for a sunrise dip in the inland
surf. The five pools are at Pied
‘mont Park, Grant Park, Oakland City
i Park, Maddox Park and Mozley Park.
The charge is made necessary by the
fact that the pools will have to oper
ate without an appropriation from the
city, and thus will have to pay their
own way. They are on a trial of 35
days, to ascertain if they can be made
self-sustaining-—-and it will take
$1.750 a month to run them.
The bathing rules this year re
quire two-plece suits and bar the!
pretty white silk creations, the park
authorities at all times being the
court of last resprt in judgment on
whether a bathing suit meets the de
lmnndl of propriety,
There was a notable assembly of
swimmers at all the pools, the largest
probably being at the new Grant Park
pool, where the swimming kept up
until well along in the morning with
prospects of an even larger crowd for
the matinee swim.
