courthouse Monday evening with
the town council and discussed
plans for a swimming pool. A
discussion as to where a pool is to
be located was held, and also the
reason for the town's not having ,
a park commission.
The question as to whether the
town will continue to have the use
el the city park property was
raised, and E. K Stiles was ap
pointed by Mayor Neil Sneed to go
to Chattanooga and talk with A.
1) Rieger. property manager of
TVA, to ascertain whether or not
?t long-term le^ e can be secure''
tJa r ?he \ ? . ... plus .?? iui
< -tljfer use of the property.
t was brought out by town coun
cil men that the reason the park
commission was dissolved last year
nas that a treasurer other than
the city clerk was elected, and that
a careful study of the law revealed
that nobody else could serve in
that capacity.
There are two places being con
sidered for the swimming pool:
the city park and the fair grounds
C. If. Townson. W. D King. J. C
English and E. E. Stiles were ap

bers play in all sections of the
