And now, lest we forget, the
swimming pool had a special
meeting last week, called to vote
on bylaw change which woulu
increase the membership to Cos.
The change was defeated by 81
votes, that is 269 voted in favor
while 81 voted against and 24o
did not vote. A total of 301 af-
firmative votes would have car
RED the measure.

opposition to the change was not

members, but rather to making

a report from the treasurer re-
vealed the happy fact that we are
IN better shape financially than
had been anticipated at the last
special meeting.

day was $773, of which $759 is
