Recreation Board Recommendation to Hlat Swimrnini: :Fool The City Manager reported that at a special meetint; of the Recreation Board held on February 14th. 1949, it was recommended the t the City Commiss ion provide facilities for heating the water in the swimming pool if funds are available and that the f'acilities be installed prior to the 1949 season; and if funds are not avai lable in park funds this year, the Commission take whatever steps are necessary to increase the park fund sufficiently to make this improvement. It was stated that the approximate cost of such an improvement would be Rpproxima.tely $6.300.00 I After consideration by the City Commission, they went on record as favoring such an improvement, but after examination of the park f'und balances. it was their opinion that unless other park operations were drastically curtailed that it would not be possible to spend $6.000.00 for this improvement during the current fiscal year, but funds in the amount of $3.000.00 could be made available for this project. The Commission considers it inadvisable to rIan increased tax levy in the next f'iscal year to provi.de funds for this special project but expressed the view that as soon as suf'f'icient surplus can be buH t up in the k'ark fund the project should be undertaken.
