Present city policy is to sell city water to business and schools out side of the city but not to resi dences. The amusement park company will put in a water line the entire distance from the present main to its property. City Manager Kent Mathewson said. The firm will also request an easement across city property at the airport, he explained. Other Water Action In other action concerning water, the council approved providing water on four acres of land out side city limits, owned by the Rcimann Real Estate company. The realty firm claimed the privi lege of obtaining the water by vir tue of easement rights granted the city by a former owner of the property. The city manager was authorized to negotiate with the real estate firm regarding the replacement of the line, which presently would serve the area. Swim Pools Remodelling Gets Airing How to finance remodelling or complete rebuilding of the Leslie and dinger swimming pools was one or tne chief topics of discus sion Tuesday afternoon when rep resentatives of the city and of the school system meet at the admin istration building. With both the municipality and the school board facing the pros pect of expanding budgcls and some uneasiness on the part of the taxpayers the financial issue looms large. The pool issue was brought to a head recently when the state board of health indicated it would condemn both places if some ac tion was not taken immediately. The pools were built during de pression days and reports indicate they ore in need of extensive re pairs. Operation costs of the pools have been shared by the city and the schools. However, since they are located on school property, the legality of the municipality invest ing funds for plant improvement has been questioned.
