Would it not be opportune) to shift the site of the much discussed! swimming pool to near thet Council Chambers? Ratepayers are indebted! to stalwart Councillor McCready for standing alone to protect their interest*, r—his efforts succeeded in the ratepayers wishes, being adheircd to by the council for the time being. Yours etc., RATEPAYER.
