Town May Assume $30 000 LiabilityStreet For' Swimming Pool Seaforth town council heard a proposal on Monday night that the town assume a liability for $30,000, at least technically, and take over the Lions swimming pool east -o£ town. Mayor McMaster said in re- turn the town could get a grant of $5,000 as a community cen- tre if a park board was formed. The discussion about matter be- name very general. The follow- ing points were developed: 1. A number of councillors claimed they did not know the town was involved in the pro- jeer. 2. The newpool will be east of the present one, which will be allowed to Sill up. 3. The project is estimated to cost $40,000. An engineer from Hamilton looked over the site on Monday. 4. A 'charge will be made for use of the pool, which will _be operated by the Lions Club. At`.,,?t;<;:? present it costs over '$2,000 a year to operate the park, etc Revenue from the booth scarce- lit pays costs._ 5. Lions Club members could caveot rn e expected e town' ala nstnlose oil theliabilityof 30 000. At f ' present the town of Seaforth owes $32,500 plus interest on the arena. In addition $5000 is outstanding on the floor an the arena, covered. by note signers who feel the town should as- some this liability Councillor Leslie, who is also a Lion, told councillors he had approximately a quarter million raffle t i c k e t s which should gross $56,000 if all sold. He al- lowed $3,000 for the car, $1000 to the seller of the luck ticket and with other items, expenses should total about $6,600. He felt if even half the tickets were distributed on a wide basis over the province a large sum would be realized. -Councillor Leslie said the Lions Club would go ahead with the project of council's deci- cion, Council deferred action to a special meeting. It was stated council had power to commit the ratepayers to this $30,000 Habil- ity without a vote of the people.
