Call New Tenders
for Swimming Pool
New tenders for construction of 1
a swimming pool at -Judith Gooder-
ham Memorial Playground have
been called, according to Town
Clerk S. II. Blake, with closing
date set for July 27.
A number of weeks ago, the
Town Council's swimming pool
committee received tenders for the
job of building the new pool, but
all proved higher than anticipated
and none was accepted.
At that time, lowest tender was
that of $87,400 received from the
Goderich Manufacturing Co., Ltd.
Together with costs of fixtures, it
was estimated the final cost would
be over S120,000.
It had been hoped that the pool
construction could have been start-
ed early this month; but no de-
finite time has been set for the
beginning of the work.
The pool is to be a donation of
Harry W. Knight, of Toronto, a
former Goderich resident, who
made the offer to build it la.tt
year. Once an acceptable tender
has been received, it will be sub-
mitted to Mr. Knight for consider-
ation.
Mr. Knight also donated the
Judith Gooderham Playground to
the town.
BUILDING PERMITS
Eight applications for building
permits were presented by Town
Clerk S. IL Blake to Town Council
at last Friday night's meeting,
totalling $17,790. Two of the per-
mits were for erection of dwellings.
They were referred to the fire
committee for consideration.
