And, Bazinet reminds voters ominously, If a kid urinates in that pool, you can be sure it will all be there 10 days later, Brewers recreation people are prepared if necessary to accept defeat of the new pool, but they will not be happy after examining toe record at other cities in the state. For example, a couple of years ago Lewiston decided to try and get along with its out- moded pool facilities. Thus 1 a he chip-and-patnt A method has cost that city over $100,000. In a similar case, Waterville has already spent $36,000 for materials alone.

By PETER TABER Of The NEWS Staff Backers of a new all-weather swimming pool in Brewer to replace the decrepit outdoor facility off Wilson Street, Issued a last-minute appeal for voter support Sunday night. The issue is expected to he resolved in a special public referendum to be held Tuesday. Hie official question facing Brewer citizens Tuesday is: Shall the City of Brewer provide for the replacement of the municipal swimming pool iy the construction of an indoor-outdoor swimming pool at a cost not to exceed Jhe figure given the. referendum would be a maximum one," according to supporters of the new pool. It is based on minimum federal and state matching funds applied against the total maximum estimated cost of $410,000 However, total cost may be considerably lower, while matching outside funds could run higher.

The citys share of the funding would be accomplished through a 20-year bond. But even if Brewer voters should decide to vote no on the referendum question, they -are still faced with considerable costs to refurbish the pool, warns Robert Basinet, chairman of the Brewer Recreation, Parks, and Conservation Commission. There way were going to quit swimming at Brewer, Bazinet said, pointing out that the role of a municipal pool in both summer and school physical edu-. cation programs makes it far more than a luxury. Just this past year, in a summer sea-' son cut by bad weather to less i than the usual 10 weeks, the 17-year-old facility on Wilson Street bad 24,000 splashing visitors.

A- modern pool equipped with an overhead canopy for year-round use, could be used 80 hours a week, 52 weeks a year, with no pauses for rain and cold. Basinet foresee a stricter interpretation of the state requirements on physical education in the near future. The mandatory three-year period in high school may very well be extended to the full four years, he says. AO this is expected to put a heavy burden on Brewer schools existing physical education facilities, and Bazinet sees a. large all-weather pool as providing at least one The alternative to voting to take out a 20-year bond on the olympic-sized all-weather pool would entail completely renovating the exisittog facility.

A conservative estimate just to keep this pool going and to install a rudimentary filter system it $50,000, Right bow the pool off tyilson Street has no filtration at all. Chemicals are hand-fed, but file method is inadequate as the circulation is poor and toe chemicals do not reach all parts of the pool Such a facility would be illegal if built in this state today, but back in 1955 no such sanitary statutes existed. Furthermore, toe result of no filtration system is that the water quickly becomes dangerously murky. Even with complete refills every two weeks, the water quickly becomes so cloudy that a sub I' i r- 'i7 h' Old T6wn Adult Offers Choice Of 7 l-y 1 1 7 e''v7 r7 ss '7 i 4 'x vs st-s k.s ft i ti 1 ceive an eighth grade education, or for persons who wish to brush up before beginning work OQ one of the two programs leading towards a high school education.
