He based his costs on the first-yea- r operation of the of $48,000, Kearns pool which he said could be trimmed to about $35,000. He estimated that the revetiue special assesstax in the district would be $52,000 a year and that revenue from the pool would be $40,000, the same as at Kearns, to be obtained by charging each family $25, a year for swimming privileges. Kenneth Prince, clerk of the Jordan board, said that operating costs of the pres-sen- t from ment a pools is about $30,000 a year, but part of this is offset by $22,000 revenue from swimming admissions, so that the net cost to the district is only $8,000 for two pools. Board members doubted if would be legal for the sevhool board to "donate" and, and Atty. Stringham said that he believed a trade of acreage with the county could be worked out. Several board members pointed out that the next pool has been promised to Midvale and indicated that they intend to keep that commitment.
