DIXIELAND BATHS
AN ATTRACTIVE PROJECT FILLING AM ODD CORNER The baths which are to be erected by Dixieland, Ltd., at Point Chevalier I will not interfere with the present beach. Instead, they will make a rocky, uninviting waterfront a pleasant spot in which to bathe. The part of the foreshore on which the baths will be erected has always been forsaken by bathers during the summer. Often bathers in the vicinity were forced to wait for the tide before they could go into the water. At low water the baths will be high and dry and at flood tide the water will come on three sides of them. The baths will be 100 yards long and 50 yards wide, and the walls will be Bft thick. A wind shelter and a promenade are also to be erected, so that it will be possible to bathe under the best of conditions. Patent flood-gates will prevent any silt from accumulating on the floor of the baths. At night flood lights will make them as bright as daj\ The baths will actually be built to the right of the present Point Chevalier Beach.
