The members also expressed their desire that a Ladies' Club be formed in town, and the Executive Com- mittee of the Mens' club was ap- pointed to make the necessary ar- rangements should the ladies decide they would like to make use of the greens. Report of Special Corilmittee Re -- Swimming Pool Project At a joint meeting of the Council Special Committee and the Lions Club Swimming Pool Committee, held on Wednesday, March 29th, the question of a swimming pool was discussed at length and in detail, and after due consideration was given, we respect- fully submit the following -that the Lions Club wish to suggest }as a. tentative site, the lot or lots immed- iately behind Hanley's Garage and fronting on Mary Street, for the purpose of establishing a swimming pool and park. The maximums estim- ated cost of this pool, including a modern filtration system and an up- to-date shower and bath house syst- em would be approximately $0,000.- 00 -of this amount the Lions Club are willing to assume up to 50% of the cost. This site is tentative only and fropt- the discussions which we had the advantages were: (1.) That this would provide a place of recreation for everyone in the town, particularly the growing generation, and would enable them to have a recreation spot in the town and save them from hitch -hiking and travelling around the country which is not only dangerous but not al- ways to the best interests of the town. (2.) The work in connection with this project would. be largely manual labor to which all our unemployed could be •engaged for a considerable period which would through their wages benefit peractieally all merch- ants or business people in the town directly, or indirectly. (31) Thee site also 'would ,serve as a picnic park for the benefit of tourists coming in, or through town. (4.) The Lions have agreed that should any project be gone ahead with that all labor will be engaged locally, and the only outside help would be engineers or supervisors necessary to the construction of the teehnieal'detaibe of this project. (5.) With conditions as they are at the present time, and as no capital expenditures have been made in our community recently, we feel that the construction of this or some other community enterprise could be ender- taken. We, however, as. a •Connnittee feel that this •pro•ject would require more consideration by the Council 44 a whole, and we would recommend that they handle this matter from now on as a definite community plan, as there are 'possibly members ' of `' the council who would be interested 'bath ways. The prime opposition on of the an as discussed'. at our meeting concern- ed largely the site to be chosen, and alto the adequate financing' program which no doubt some of the more experienced members of the council may lend. THE HOME PAPER TAX RATE REMAINS THE SAME FOR 1939 Swimming Pool Project Shelved Although council Were rather tardy getting started at Monday night's regular session, they accomplished passing of several by-laws and eat.. ting of the tax irate for the year.' No r eviction upward ar downward, although the finance committee must have done some studying rn :arrang- ing of figures to; get the same an-) swer. For comparison" purposes the mill rate for 1938 and 1939 are as follows: • 1938 1939 County - 30'4 3% mill's Schools .. 14% 161, D'eben'tures 9 9 Relief . , .. % lira Town . , .. 12 101/2' 40 40 The estimatesof receipts and ex- penditures were read in detail by the clerk showing slightly ever $32,000 M be raised for all purposes,. Prac- tically no discussion followed the passing of the bylaw re the adoption of estimates although Councillor Agnew asked for his awn informa- tion who set the estimates for the b t s w ed. The firemen need 5 or 6 rubber coats this year and the fire truck and reel should be painted was Councillor Livermore's report and he recommended that council advertise for tenders on the aintin work painting. No meals to transients after April 15th. was.reeoinmended and they ar to be ordered to move on. An important change was suggest- ed in a mbtion by Councillor Agnew when he introduced a motion that a bylaw be.prepared advancing the date of munieipal elections. :Speak- ing to his motion he said that he felt the town would get a more representative vote by so doing as rush of business and inclei$ent weather at the usual election• trine prevented a good vote being polled. The bylaw will be prepared. Another motion passed was that $3,000 of surplus accrued on debentures paid be tranderred to current account at discretion of council.
