Will Ask a New Pool to Ease Overcrowding at City Pools
District commissioners plan to seek funds from Congress to enlarge existing municipal pools or build a new one to relieve severe overcrowding. Supt. William B. Hudson says current facilities are insanitary and inadequate, with nearly 500 turned away last weekend as 1,600 crowded into space for about 1,100. Commissioner Rudolph supports enlargement to curb drownings and improve safety, though Congress has allocated only 3,760 for pools this year.
