After a lengthy discussion at its
regular Meeting on Monday even-
ing1 the Wingham' town council
Voted to have a by-law drawn up,
to place the proposed swimming
pool under the Community 'Centres.
Act.,
By so 'doing, the pool would be-.
come eligible for a grant of up to.
$5,000 and donations to the fund
for its construction would become,
lawful as income tax deductiOns.
Decision to draw the by-law..aarite
adethe' result of "e metioe beteCotinee
cillors Conron and Gorbutt.
'Councillor Conron opened the dis-
cussion by recounting the moves
'Which have,been made so far, and
the support for the project which
was evidenced at a public meeting
held last Friday evening, when
seventeen organizations in town
and district had sent representa-
tives.'
Mayor' R. B, McKinney pointed
out to Council that the project
would not involve town financing,
since the funds would be raised
from private donations, service
clubs,. etc. In the discussion which
ensued some councillors 'expressed
concern. that promised moneys
Might not be forthcoming and that•
the town •would eventually be
forced to' complete the project.
They 'cited the installation of arti-
ficial ice in the arena as a case in
point.
Councillor Conron said that plans
would call for the raising of suf-
ficient money for the construction
of any one portion of the prOject
before work could be started. He
Said that in Clinton, where a poor
hes recently been completed, the
construction was done in steps, first
the cement work, then. the filtration
