The building would be of cement block, two-storey construction, Tri. angular In shape, it would contain four dressing rooms on the ground floor and two on the upper floor. Showers, toilets and public areas seem adequate considering the !unci available. The upper floor would have a glassed -in wall overlooking the ice surface, which would re- place the present bleachers in the south end of the building.

New Bathing house Marry McArthur, chairman of the Riverside Darks Board, ,attend- ed the meeting and outlined plans of the board for the coming sea. son. He stated that the public is bringing pressure to bear to have a bath house at the swimming pool erected this summer. He said that the board had obtained sketch plans and estimates for such a building, however, financing was somewhat of a problem. He point- ed out that $3,000 would be coming back in grants this year, and re- quested that this money be added to the annual $5,000 levy which the town has committed for park work. This would cover the approximate cost of putting up the structure.
