Montgomery Pool Returns To Federal Control For Armory Plan

Montgomery Mayor H O Skaggs signed a release that turned the city owned pool back to the federal government. Lt Col Don Stingel of the West Virginia National Guard said the mayor proposed an armory for Co A 18th Infantry on the pool site. Judge Ben Moore had ruled in 1948 that the pool must be open to all citizens or the city must provide equal facilities, a decision tied to a 1946 lease to the Montgomery Park Association.
