Pool project showcases community effort and savings
A local pool built at a park site cost 687 in labor and 1453 in materials with a contractor charging 75 instead of 300 for excavation. Four cement mixers stood at corners, walls poured in a day, as residents provided labor and a picnic marked the opening. The 100 by 50 foot pool is nine feet deep at one end and eight at the other, holding 75000 gallons and drained every ten days during a three month run. The City Water Department provides free water, while Morenci and Saline both boast good water. War delays completion, said Mr Green at his gas station, recounting the build to Saline residents.
