STRAIGHT CRITICISM
OHOPE SWIMMING POOL
DEPUTY MAYOR'S REMARKS
"I think we can honestly say, as a body which lias taken a great interest in the development of Ohope, that the. board's around that swimming pool, just at the beach ap-> proaeh, spoils the whole outlook," said tlie Deputy Mayor (Cr S. Sliapley) at the last meeting of the Whakatane Borough Council when the bcach was under discussion. "It reminds me of Dartmoor prison," continued the speaker, who added hastily 'not that I know anj> thing about Dartmoor prison. But f .say if the boards were done away with it would enable a little beautifying to be done." i/t wasi ratheir galling to see it 'stuck' up there blocking the view and he hoped when the Town Board was formed something would be done about its speedy removal.
