According to Don Chase, councilman in charge of parks and recreation, city officials have spent considerable time In attempting to determine what type of pool facilities would best meet the needs of the community. A committee composed of the mayor and several councilmen recently spent a full day inspecting pools as far south as Provo to determine the best features that could be used in a municipal pool for ' Brigham City, he said. Though no definite action toward planning or contracting for the pool can be taken until after the election, the council has agreed that paying for the bonds over a period would best suit the city, Chase explained. Edward L. Burton Bonding Co., Salt Lake City, is drawing for up tentative arrangements the bond issue . Chase expressed his desire to see a citizens committee formed to work with the city in determining a site for the pool if the bond issue gets taxpayer approval. Thus far, several pieces of city property have been suggested as possible locations but none has received a unanimous 10-ye- nod. The city will continue gathering information from different communities In the state so that if a municipal pool is constructed in Brigham City, it will be as modern qnd convenient as possible, Chase said.
