Costly bids halt District swimming pools project
Washington youths face another year without two proposed playground pools after bids opened at the District building exceed the $15,003 appropriation by about $4,000. Bids ranged from $19,000 to $33,000 for pools at Cardoza grounds and Virginia avenue area. Congress had allocated $7,500 for the effort, but war delays and rising materials costs now stall construction and threaten $1,000,000 in municipal projects including a hospital and lodging house.
