Sparta pool measure squeaks by voters with 27 vote margin
Sparta residents approved a new city pool by 436 to 409 in a Tuesday referendum allowing the Sparta Public Commission to raise bonding authority from 5 to 7 percent of assessed valuation. The project, estimated at 750000, will be funded from coal sale tax money and issued bonds. The pool site sits at McClurken and McGuire, near an industrial area, with plans for 6700 square feet, a diving area, six 25 meter lanes, splash and wading areas, and auxiliary buildings. Mayor James Mathis said construction should begin soon and be well underway by summer.
