A question regarding the
availability of .water..was an-

the water would not come from
the Sidney supply but from Elk
Lake. He referred to “the big line
behind us."’
The still unsettled question: of

Mayor Stan Dear who was in

warned, and those who want a |

swimming pool will want to know ~

‘that a pool is a ‘‘possibility.”’

Len Bland explained that an
actual date for pool construction

is difficult to give because funds

for this’ must’ come from
operation of the curling and
skating facilities.

satisfactory, hinted Ruffle;
federal and provincial assistance
will be forthcoming. Then,
