The majority of our patrons will observe these rules 

 of their own accord and will render us a great service 

 by reporting any infractions to the attendants. Any 

 person failing to comply with the foregoing rules will be 

 immediately expelled and denied the future privileges 

 of the bathhouse. 



The following rules and regulations are enforced by the Dallas Park 

 Board for the use of the Lake Cliff Swimming Pool:

 which the privilege is extended to persons to bathe and 

 swim therein, shall be controlled by, and such persons 

 using the said pools shall be governed by, the following 

 rules : 



(a) That all persons using the swimming pools shall 

 check their valuables with the officer or employee desig- 

 nated to receive the same and shall receive from such 

 officer or employee a check or receipt covering the 

 article or articles so checked. No article or valuables 

 shall be checked which shall be of a value exceeding 

 $25.00. No officer or employee shall be responsible for 

 any valuables that have not been checked and no re- 

 sponsibility shall lie against any such officer or employee 

 for a greater amount than $25.00. That all persons 

 making any claim against any officer or employee for 

 loss of any article or valuables shall file such claim in 

 writing with the officer or employee in charge of such 



pool not later than days after the time of such 



loss, and such claim shall state as near as possible an 

 exact description of the article or articles lost, the 

 exact time when the same was checked and shall also 

 be accompanied by an exact description of the check 

 or receipt for any such article or articles. That all 

 persons using the said pools shall look to the officer or 

 employee in charge of the same in case of the loss of 

 any valuables, and under no circumstances shall the 

 City of Dallas be held liable on account of the loss of 

 any article or articles, or valuables. 



(b) No persons shall be allowed to, in any manner, 

 bring any bottles or glassware or broken glass into or

 (/) All signs and rules promulgated by the park board

(g) All users of the pools, while in the pools, are for- 

 bidden to do or commit any of the following: I. Dive

 condition or who is suffering from any skin disease or 

 any character of contagious or communicable disease. 



(/) The officer or employee in charge of the pool may 

 exercise the right to eject anyone who by disorderly 

 conduct or on account of his constant infraction of the 

 rules, or on account of any lewd or indecent conduct, 

 becomes objectionable, and may also refuse to permit 

 any such person to use the pool. 



(k) That it shall be the duty of all persons to act in 

 an orderly manner so as to permit the largest use and 

 enjoyment of the pool by all persons, and no person 

 shall willfully interfere with or willfully annoy or dis- 

 turb others in the proper use of the pool, and whenever 

 any officer or employee in charge calls attention to any 

 such act or acts being committed or likely to be com- 

 mitted, any person offending shall immediately desist 

 from any such practice. All persons using the pool shall 

 seek to comply reasonably with the directions of the 

 officer or employee in charge of the preservation of 

 good order and lend such officers or employees in charge 

 their full assistance and cooperation. 



(/) That any willful violation of the above rules shall 

 constitute an offense which shall subject any person so 

 violating the same to the fine prescribed by ordinance 

 which shall not exceed the sum of $50.00 upon con- 

 viction in the Corporation Court, provided that such 

 and every act committed shall constitute a separate 

 and distinct offense, all of which shall be prescribed by 

 ordinance passed by the Board of Commissioners rela- 

 tive thereto.
