claimed capital costs would be higher by separating the recreation facilities We re back on the some merry go round commented Roy Booth He cm it was use that mattered No matter no ingenious the use of seating for spectators is if there is nobody in the water there won be spectators he remarked Coun Booth termed the agreement a good one saying the board of education has agreed to everything we asked
