Board of Trustees Hope “(Jo Ahead” Signal
Will Materialize Following Another Meet
ing Scheduled Friday Afternoon
Further plans concerning: .thej
proposed swimming pool for Edeti
ton were discussed nt a meet ini'
of the hoard of trustees and rep
resentatives for various civic clubs
at a meeting held Thursday alter- j
noon in the Municipal |{uil«linjar. at j
which time those present agreed
that it was time to see some ac
tion on the pool one way or an
other. It was pointed out that the !
situation had developed into a pure
ease of “do it now. or never.”
It was the opinion of the group;
that if construction of . the poof: 1
Could get started soon and let the
public see that the machinery of |
progress had hetually gone into •
motion, local citizens would realize
that the project had really taken
roots and would, therefore, do their
part financially in helping to com
plete the pool.
I’lans for the new swimming pool
call for tin all steel construction in- j
stead of concrete, which was first
decided upon. It will come in sec- 1
tions and welded together. The
siz.e of the proposed I will lie 7a
feet long, .‘if) feet wide. (! feet at
deep end, with maximum depth of
8 feet. t> inches, 8 feet at shallow
end and 87,000 gallon capacity. The
pool will he cipiippcd with one div

people at one time. It will cost in,
