Cr N. G. Pickering telephoned “The Press" last evening to say he had checked with an engineer, Mr W. Lovell-Smith, and been told that it was not necessary to demolish part of the Centennial Pool to take test bores for a new building. “Therefore, I expect a public apology from the DeputyMayor (Cr H. P. Smith) at the next council meeting,” Cr Pickering said. During his reply to Cr Pickering at the special City Council meeting yesterday, and countering Cr Pickering’s comment that the pool had been bulldozed down so another site would not be chosen, Cr Smith said the demolition had been necessary to enable test bores. Cr Smith Said that the council had let a demolition contract because of the need for test bores to determine the foundations for a big building; and he challenged Cr Pickering to find expert opinion to the contrary.
