SWIM POOL FOR DIXON IS NOW ASSURED. That Dixon will have a swimming pool to add to those features which make the town a good place in which to live and bring up a family appears to be now assured. Swimming pool was discussed at Redmen hall Monday evening by citizens of Dixon, with Chairman W.J. Weyand opening up the line of talk. Method of financing was the main problem. The suggestion was made that the Dixon Union High School District might be willing to pledge a certain sum in return for free use to students at certain prescribed hours of the week. Mayor Kilkenny, Councilman Brewen and W.R. Madden were appointed a committee to meet the school trustees, With the method of financing now practically solved, J.L. Kilkenny has signed up the certificates for SERA Two sites were mentioned: the Willott lot south of the former Arcade livery stable, and a tract west of the golf course club house, which Dr. Hall has offered to give to the town for a pool. This is a tract of ground fully a block in extent.

The cost was estimated at $1500, but to be safe has been extended to $2,000. It is only due to depression and the need of providing employment that the opportunity has presented itself.
