the time of both drownings There is no evidence at his paint that if the bylaw strictly adhered to that the drownings would not have happened anyway The mayor emphasized when admission is charged and a park is open to the public the police can enter at any time said the scarcity of bylaws covering swimming areas Is probably due to a reluctance to hurt the tourist Industry and noted Dr DR Coroner

until all their re commendations were im plemcnted At the time the inquest Jury also recommended colored float lines should outline the swimming areas but council did not moke this mandatory in the bylaw In March owner Joe Prucyk said it was difficult for him to make swimming areas since the depths vary all over the quarry from six to 48 feet He said the depths are marked on the walls While
