To the Editor of the 3
"Norra-Cama Dairy News."
Sin,—As the head and bread winner of large family living im the Western District, I venture to raise my voice in protest against the decision of the S. M. C. as publish. ed on page 42 of to-day's Municipal Gazette, to excise the appropriation of Tls. 20,000 for a swimming pool in the Western District. The idea that many people have, that dwellers in this locality are all rich taipans is quite am erroneous one, and I am sure that there must be many others im a similar position to myself, who have not suflicient influence or funds to become members of the Swimming Club or Rowing Club and who find that the public baths (notice the plural, please) at Hongkew are too far away to send our, delicate offsprings or to visit ourselves. Dur ing the summer recess especially a pool. would prove a great boon to our little ones, but I suggest that the pool should be located nearer to Bubbling Well on a site adjacent to the new school in Vu Yuen Road.
I feel sure that your advocacy of such a pool would be welcomed and strongly supported by many of: the residents of this district.
I am, etc., Far West.
