Incorporation
of
Swimming
Pool
With
Sunken
Garden
At
Court
House
is
Suggested
A
new
and
interesting
suggestion
has
been
made
in
regard
to
the
long-discussed
project
of
providing
Prince
Rupert
with
a
public
swimming
pool.
At
yesterday's
luncheon
of
the
Gyro
Club,
M.
A.
Burbank
presented
the
idea
of
having
a
swimming
pool
incorporated
with
the
sunken
garden
which
is
now
being
put
in
to
the
rear
of
the
Court
House
building.
With
the
pool
in
the
centre
and
the
terraced
gardens
around,
it
was
suggested
by
Major
Hurbank
that
here
was
the
possibility,
at
a
reasonable
cost,
of
making
a
highly
popular
and
attractive
resort
which
would
have
practically
all
desired
advantages
such
as
easy
accessibility
by
street,
central
location
and
convenient
fresh
water
and
sewerage
service.
Some
day
even,
a
gymnasium
might
be
located
thereabouts,
it
was
suggested.
The
suggestion
will
probably
be
brought
before
the
club
for
more
concrete
action
at
a
later
date.
Meantime,
Major
Burbank
suggested
that
the
mem
bora
of
the
club
miuht
do
well
to
inspect
tne
sito
so
as
to
familiarize
themselves
with
it.
