A. building by ii.tili.inj? tho pool already built in tne basement there. Investigation lias shown thai, the cost of maintaining tho pool would bo too great to justify the midertakint;. . Tho cost would be about $400 a month lor coal to heat, the water and about $-13 worth of water, on meter rates, would be required to fill the pool each time tho water was changed. In view of the fact that the city owns natural hot water spring the commission com-mission does not look with favor ontlie plan of buvinir coal to heat water. When the city is able to establish public baths it will utilize its natural hot water. |
