Concluding the interview, Council de- liberated on the need for the Conversion as advised by the Ontario Hydro Commission and formally moved to award the Central Canada Company the contract for this $40,000 pro- ject, Councillor Evans-Smith noted they would save approximately $6,500 a year in eliminating the sub-station and therefore in a period of six or seven years the con- version would have paid for itself. Mr. Boudreau stated the work would take around three months to complete, A detailed report for the month of July was received from Fire Chief R, Hofland to- gether with his remarks on the course he had attended. in Gravenhurst, The Police report for the month of July was received and ac- cepted from Chief of Police, H, Billings, Council moved to accept the Separate School Board recommendation appointing Mr, W.J, Cavanaugh as their representative on. the Highschool Board, and further appointed as representative of Council on the High school Board, Mr, A, Chisholm, replacing Mr, Gombola and Mr. Mason respectively, Public Library, Hydro Electric and Town accounts for the month of July were perused and passed for payment, A By-Law to provide for 1962 expenditures on maintenance and construction of roads in Terrace Bay up to a sum of $25,000 was duly approved, Discussing complaints concerning a dog in town, Council moved that on receipt of a formal complaint, the Chief of Police be authorized to carry out instructions in By- Lay 129 A, _ the District in which we live July 19, 1962 SWIMMING POOL STARTED Final arrangements have been made for the construction of the Terrace Bay Swimming -Pool and work will commence this week. The land has been cleared and excavation has be- gun so that the contractor, Canada Gunnite Company of Winnipeg, may -commence con- struction this week, Completion of the pool body has been set at approximately 6 weeks, so that we can hope for some use of the pool this year, Plans call for a slightly different type of pool than was originally planned, for the best possible use of the area, One portion of the pool (82* 1" X 35%) will hold water . from 3 foot depth to 5 foot depth, Another portion, for diving, (40% X 30%) will be a- 'bout 8 feet deep. This will provide distinctly separate areas for swimming and diving and will provide much more area for pleasure swimming, This also provides two separate pool lengths; 35% X 82% 1'* (25 meters) and the other 30% X 75% (25 yards).
