11. MATTERS FROM CITY OFFICIALS
Commissioner Adams stated that the adult recreation •swimming
at the Temple City High School seems to be quite popular and
feels the Commission should consider adding this to the entire
summer program next year, even if we have to put in additional
money because there are not many programs available to adults.
