BATHING SHEDS FOR MT. MAUNGANUI
ERECTION ON HARBOUR BEACH NO PROVISION MADE BY COUNCIL (Times Correspondent) A request from the Mount Maunganui Amateur Swimming Club that the Mount Maunganui Borough Council should erect bathing sheds on the harbour side near Salisbury wharf, which was deferred for further consideration at the December meeting of the council, was again considered at this week’s meeting. The Mayor (Mr S. F. Newton) stated that the club had suggested that these sheds were necessary and would be well patronised by both residents and visitors to Mount Munganui. It had been stated at the last meeting of the council that volunteer labour would probably be lorthcoming to build the sheds if the council provided the timber for the work.
Remarking that no provision had been made for such work on the Estimates, Mr Newton suggested that it might be advisable to defer action till the next year’s Estimates came up for discussion. “I think, if the council decides to erect bathing sheds that the buildings should be sound and atractive,” he said. Cr C. H. Clarke commented that he had been taken to task for saying that bathing sheds were not necessary on the harbour side, but what he had meant to convey was that m his opinion such sheds would be more necessary further down Pilot Bay where most harbour swimmers bathed. The council decided that the question be deferred until next year’s Estimates came up for consideration. _____
