 The job of repairing the pool would call for an entire new piping system. according to President John J. Walsh, and in answer to the queries of Mrs. Florence B. Webster, the head of the local board explain ed that the repair would not be 8 WPA job. Even if it were a WPA job, he said, the city would be called upon to supply the materials. The cost, he further stated would be about $5,000.
