SUMNER BATHING POOL.
TO TllZ BlilTC'tl OF TH3 PKES!I gjr,—One point in connexion with the proposed batting pool has not received ioffieieot attention —road danger. The whole road from the Shag Hock corner to the Esplanade ia none too safe for pedestrians with the over-increasing motor traffic, especially on Saturday and Sunday, wh»n ihe bathing demand ia greatest. The cutting away of the cliff and widening of the road at the (foag Bock have made that approach «omparativ»-'y safe, but the tortuous narrow passage that approaches the pool from Sumner would be a veritable death trap, and I have been assured by Bujnner mothers that they could not allow their children to take the risk. There still remains the question: Is there any demand for a "Funk Hole?" —Yours, etc., SPERO ME 1.1 OR A. Jajy Bth, 192!>.
