A—10 = NEW POOL PLANS ORDERED BY ALLEN Four Swimming and Several Wading Basins Sought as Relief Projects. Preparation of plans for construc- tion of four additional swimming pools and a number of wading pools in play areas of the District, as work- z:;f projects, has been ordered by missioner Allen, works progress administrator. Heretofore he has restricted his work as administrator to passing on plans proposed by department execu- tives, but took this step to assure ex- pansion of facilities for swimming and ‘wading. Allen recently approved requests for construction of two swimming pools and eight wading pools and other playground work having a total estimated cost of $572,000. These now are awaiting Federal action. One Pool for Southwest. One of these pools would be built in the southwest section and the other in the Barry Farms community. Sites for the additional pools have not been determined upon. “I am for more swimming pools and more wading pools for the chil- dren of the District,” said Allen. 1 want to see if we can get them under this work program.” Meanwhile, C. Marshall Finnan, superintendent of National Capital parks, said today that the municipal pool at Seventeenth street and Con- stitution avenue will remain until a replacement pool is constructed. Two Other Pools Planned. Earlier this year Finnan said the pool would be razed shortly after Labor day, but plans have been changed to await the construction of the pool in the Southwest and a contemplated pool in Georgetown. The Parks Service plans two new pools out of the $1,000,000 P. W. A. park fund, one of them to be near the Hoover Playground in the South- west. Engineers are preparing plans for this and the Georgetown pool. The municipal pool is to be re- moved to make way for the flood- control dike being constructed on the Washington Monument Grounds in accordance with plans of the United States Engineer Office. Dirt to_fill in the pool will be piled hearby until it and the accompanying buildings are razed, it was said. MORGENTHAU CONFIDENT Declares Declining Bond Market #“Not Distressing” to Treasury.
