A similar pro- test by the Parent-Teachers' associa- tion of the Stanley School has been given publicity, and today another in- dividual protest is registered in addi- tion to the mention- ed. These facts are stated, not for the ipurpose of denouncing the swimming- pool, but rather for the purpose of ac- centuating the of looking Anto the situation rteps taken to establish the pool. The first mention of the pool brought word of /& possible $50,000 to be spent upon it. This sum was later reduced to § 000, Mayor Paonessa, is the ardent advocate of the poo!, has stat «d that he never had any idea of ap- proving the spending of sums. The sum of $5,000 was “the limit" as far as he concerned. Undoubtedly the Mayor is moved desire to give the people something that he has said he would try to give them, and is inspired by the best of motives. He wants the young people to have this published “'Stanley east purports to | is in signed it 1 communication necessity bhefore are who any by a pool for their pleasure and advants or, like other people, 1 possibly be mistaken as to the feel- ing in his neighborhood regarding the pool, outside of the de of the | young people who would use it, and the point to be emphasized in regard to the swimming pool as in re- gard to that other matter of the auto- mobilist camp for tourists, is that no action sholld be taken that will de- prive residents of the district where swimming pool would be located, or where the camp would be placed, of the benefits they had a right to expect would come to them from living in that neighborhood. Simply stated the right of the peo- ple should not be taken away unless a great public necessity demands such action. If the hment of a swimming pool would =o alter the at- mosphere of the Stanley Qgprter that a considerable portion of its people would lose a valuable assct such as pleasure in their homes, the pool should not be built, for no great pub- lic necessity calls for the pool. If,| however, the great majority of the people living in that quarter approve, and the disapproval comes from one, two or three isoiated persons—which does not seem to be the case—the public welfare should be considered. The same is true in regard to the es- tablishment of the automobilists’ camp. And apropos of tpis latter mat- ter one person who purchased proper- ty recently near the place which is being considered for such camp stated to the writer that he would “put his ire now, esta gre place on the market tomorrow" if he| felt that such a camp would be locat- ed there to bring automobiles past his door in a steady This newspaper plan of zoning the city =o that all sec- tiond would least their present standards; so that the charac- ter of any neighborhood would not be lowered in the future in the character of the up. swimming pool might not come within the provisions of any zoning regula- tions, but the same permeates . both.

The true meaning of that spirit, the evidence of which is the afair at the of a time, would be looked m it represen ar- club, is that it represents the sincere desire of a group of men to empha- size again the splendid ideals which they held at the time they left college and started out to live those ideals in life's daily routine.

In this he is mistaken. The people of the North End do not want the swim- ming pool. Their obscrvation of af- fairs last summer cause them to be- lieve that it will be a nuisance and detriment and it will require very lit- tle inquiry to make the fact clear. There are a number of reasons which make such a project undes them and it seems unfair to project through without their wishes being consulted. Stanley Quarter Park is the nearest approach we have to a natural bit of woodland which is available to the people. Nature lovers from all parts of the city have pleasure in visiting it. The city has a chance to develop this park along lines which will make it a delightful place for people to go who enjoy the quiet and peace of the woods. There is some of the small wild life still to be found there—wild flowers of many kinds, berries in their season, ferns and shrubs and other things of like interest. All through the summer families go there to picnic and on Sunday working men with their wives and babies spend the day there. Women and girls have felt safe in wandering through it unattended and people go there in the evening to hear the thrushes sing. The swimming pool brought in to the park last year an element which would speedily put an end to any such enjoyment of the place, and a class that would find just as much pleasure in an entirely dif- ferent environment. Many of the people who have | bought homes in the Stanley Quarter were moved to do so by its quiet and They value the park ey were disturbed last year young women walking the streets with their legs bare from their slip- pers to their trunks and young men as scantily clad. A greater number of the swimmers were boys in their teens and there was much noise and disturbance as they paved to and from the park, and women have been obliged to stop going there because they did not feel safe in doing so. It the swimming poo! is built the park will be of little interest to any of those who have found it pleasant in the past. Hartford has its park which is de- voted to nature and the things of the wood. Springfield, has such a park. Other cities carefully preserve such places for the enjoyment of its peo- ple and it would seem that after fill- ing the South End Park with jazz and noises and putting tennis courts and ball grounds into Walnut Hill Park, New Britain might dedicate this one place to the purpose for which park were originally created—breathing spots where the people of the city can get some of the real air'and influence of the unspoiled country. Stanley Park is too distant from the center of population to make it the proper place for a swimming pool. It is too far for the little children to k to it. It is too unguarded for the miscellancous crowd of young people who would be its chief patrons, and its presence would drag into and through the Stanley Quarter a noisy disturbing element which many of the { property owners sought to. escape ( when they located in the North End. | We shall soon have in Stanley Quar- ter several hundreds of young women at the new Normal school. Something in the way of consideration is due to | them, The swimming pool would be | located very near the school, and its influence would certainly be of no ad- vantage to the school. We should make the park a safe place for the girls who will live at the school to visit at will, and it would be well to put into it trees and plants which may be made of use in their work and to | encourage the increase of small wild life which has survived in some meas- ure Mayor Paonessa is said to be plan- ning a tag day to raise funds to build a pool. Has he the authority, despite any expressed disapproval, to have a j pool buiit? Does the whole thing hinge on the mayor's personal wish [and the possession of cash to further his plan? It seems to me that there should be some formality needed and some approval secured, If the mayor has his tag day I suggest that the people of the city who do not approve of his plan devote the same day to raising funds to fight the project— even in the courts if necessary, and shall be pleased to contribute to such a cause. You state that the pool was visited last summer by thousands.

CONTINUALLY IMPROVE General Production Is 8 Per Oent Higher Than During the Peak of 1920. ‘Washington, April 27.—Continued increases in industrial production, fur-| ther expansion in building operations and freight movements, heavier each week than in any corresponding week in four years, were reported as among the outstanding features of business conditions this month in a statement today by the federal reserve board. | General production the statement | announced was 8 per cent higher on| the board’s index ratio than the high | peak of 1920 and 67 per cent ahove‘ the low point of 1921. | The board's statement was devoid | of comment as to the length to which | business expansion may go. It was; ascertained, however, that in some official quarters the beliet is held that pyramiding of orders is devel-| oping and gome alarm was expressed as to the significance of this condi- tion. There has as yet been no reflection in the rediscounts by the federal re- serve banks of the reported borrow- ings from member banks of the re- serve systems. RUTHENBERG CLAIMS GOVT.
