Smith Swimming Pool Councillor Poitras introduced the following report for the Special Committee on I Smith Swimming Pool and the report was accepted and recommendations adopted: "The Special Committee on Smith Swimming Pool to whom was referred the matter of I � meeting with the Board of Park Commissioners to see what could be done about either re bili- tating, leasing or selling the Smith Pool has considered said matter and would recommen i That having met with the Board of Park Commissioners, your special committee finds that the Park Board is disposed to sell the Smith Pool Property as the Board does not feel i that the cost to the city of rehabilitating the Smith Pool would be justified. This would of course rule out the possibility of leasing the Smith Pool to anyone. If however, it were possible to obtain Federal Funds on the basis, that the Smith t Pool was originally closed by the government at the beginning of World War II because of Coast Guard planes with armed loads flying overhead and for various other reasons, the Board of Park Commissioners would reconsider the question of rehabilitating the Smith Pool. If the City Council wished to authorize the Special Committee on Smith Pool to seek Federal Funds for rehabilitation of the pool, your committee will accept the task of trying to obtain such fluids." 149.

Mr. Kinsella of the Board of Health then stated that the ideal situation is ` I incineration but after discussing this matter with other financial authorities of other cities it was found that sanitary fill or open faced dumps would be more providen . ^ Councillor Harrington then stated that according to the survey the Thompson Meadow property would only be good for 6 to 8 years and further stated that he felt, financially, that Salem with its tax rate, should be able to have an incinerator. Councillor Zoll then requested to know what comments other communities had about their incinerators.

I, The Factory and office building, as you may know, are of steel, concrete and brick construction, incapable of being moved to another site. The premises are under lease to the tenant until June 30, 1964, and the tenant currently has on the premises sufficient to _ givi ng lenient a manufactory g g II � approximately twenty tons of machinery, uable imp employment to twenty-eight persons in the production season, as well as other valesl lease-hold improvements in the nature of inventory-storage, shipping, accounting, and office facilities. Moving and re-establishing these several facilities will involve very substantial expense. The owner and tenant appreciate that they cannot hope to stand in the way of progress, and must bow to the city's power of eminent domain if it exercises the same, but they desire that the interested authorities by fully cognizant of the probable expense III involved in adequately compensating them.

Governor Robert Murphy, Mr. Williams, and state engineering advisors. The Lt. Governor informs me that he is in accord with the idea both from the point of view of the canal menace and the economic welfare of the community. Should the proposed $50,000,000 public works project bond authorization be approved the Lt. Governor feels that this would be an excellent project of permanent significance for the state.

The following pertinent excerpts from this report are forwarded for youz information and consideration: "This office has observed movements in the field and has found that pedestrians cross in a northerly-southerly direction in a wide variety of paths. ® This could be attributed to the stage that the construction is in. At present, there is no island at Norman Street, no sidewalk around proposed parking area and parts of curbing are missing. "Traffic duct has been installed to approximately what is shown on the enclosed sketch. The consultant plans show proposed pedestrian signals at "P". Power source can be taken from the electrical man holes. Signals could be installed at the completion of the project. I .. "This office believes that the vehicle and pedestrian travel patterns are not fully established at this time so that an evaluation for a signal would nct be true.
