LEARN-TO-SWIM POOL
Sir, —With reference to the fencer around the children's swimming pool at Ghope Ii wish to state that I am fully in accord with Mr Shapley's view that, this junsiglitly disfigurement to our beautiful beach should be removed forthwith. ! Mr Mahy's contention that the pool must be fenced in is quite correct, but it seems to me that a good wire fen-ce,, not more than 4 feet high, with .say 2ft Gin sheep netting, with: two wires above (barb wire for preference) and one barb "wire along the bottom netting would keep all undesirable animals out of the pool, would not seriously obstruct the view, and would allow an added at-» traction of visitors being able to see the children at play. On approaching the beach, to my mind, the present structure gives the impression that it is there to hide a cesspool or something ous or offensive that, the inhabitants are ashamed of. Fair dirikum it does! I therefore with others I am sure, sincerely hope that before next season this —to say the least —ugly surround will have been replaced by something more seemly. Yours etc., J. PEARSON, Gil fton Road. Whakatane--4/3 1944.
