Mayor Gordon Rowland
advised Council last Monday
evening that the cost of the
Terrace Swimming Pool has
jumped. to $499,000 from. the
anticipated cost of $425,000.

The main reason. for this
increase over eslimates.in-
volved a labour hassle in regard
to.the tile. It would appear that.
the firm selling the tile would

. not sell unless they are installed
- by union tile settlers. As there

‘were no members of this. union |
in Terrace workers had lo be.
brought up from Vancouver for
the -installation.. - There ap-

- * parently is no’ alternate .SUup-
’ plier. The increase in cost in-

volved was set at $24,300. -

The mayor recommended to
Council that the sum of $75,000

swimming pool fund to-meet the -
additional capital. financing
required. There. is presently
