Gear Sirs:
Your swimming pool committee met on January 14th to discuss the progress of our swimming pool. At that meeting, the members in attendance, listed below, arrived at the following conclusions 8
1. The committee thanks the council and coinmends it for setting the wheels in motion to hire a pool architect.
2. The committee feels that the property at Chestnut and Monroe is the best location for the pool, It also felt that so long as there is a possibility of obtaining that property, site location should
be delayed until that possibility, either yes or no, ie finally determined. The committee realizes that actionhhas been stalled for some time, but that in the long run the delay is well worth the wait.
Respectfully,

ATTENTION: Assistant City Xanager
Gentlemen :
-- -Regarding the recent article in the Blade Tribune concerning
a contemplated swimming pool site that would include our
property at 3357 Monroe Street, please be advised that the
one-acre parcel in question is not for sale.
We have lived at that address for'over twenty-five years,
, and during that time have s'pent quite a bit'of money, time
and,labor improving both the house and grounds. We consider
it to be an ideal location and t'he perfect setting where we
want to spend the rest of our lives. Property of this size
and desirable central location is almost impossible to obtain
at the present time. Therefore, to us the value of the
property is in excess of one hundred thousand dollars and it is believed that amount can be justified in court.
\
Since it will be necessary for you to bring condemnation
procedures against us to obtain our home site, it is our
suggestion that either of the properties just across the
street from the school site - across Monroe to the east or
Chestnut to the south - neither site containing residences,
would be more feasible to obtain by condemnation if necessary.
Both are larger parcels and would be more desirable as
locations for your proposed swimmihg pool site.
Very sincerely yours,
I 1

Attention: City Clerk
Gentlemen:
Enclosed please find a petition signed by 62
residents of the property in the vicinity of the
proposed location of the Community Swimming Pool.
This petition reflects the strong opposition by those
residents most affected by such a proposal.
We believe that Monroe is one of the most traffic
congested streets in the entire City at least nine
months of the year and object to any consideration
which would add to that congestion.
Sincerely,
SWIMMING POOL PETITION
We, the undersigned, strongly petition against the localion
of a swimming pool on the north side of the High School
grounds on Monroe Street and the adjacent privately-owned
pro per ty .
We consider that a Community Swimming should not be on school
property - and that this location is undesirable because of an
Pool
increased noise factor in a residential neighborhood and the
greatly-increased traffic this would cause on bnroe Street.
