POSSIBILITIES OF SWIMMING POOL MAY HANG FIRE Burnett Feels Legislative Consent Necessary to Sell Bonds. CONSIDER LEGAL MEANS Dean Foster Attempts to Devise Plan to Avoid Special Act. Possibilities that Nebraska's proposed swimming pool was defi nitely out of the picture for some time were expressed yesterday by Chancellor E. A. Burnett, in charge of Investigation of the plan. The chancellor feels that it will probably take a special act of the legislature before the bonds for the pool can be sold. No recommendation will be made to the board of regents Saturday bv the committee composed of Burnett, Dean T. J. Thompson, and Secretary of Finance L. E. Gunderson, according to Burnett. The plan wiU simply be presented in a very Informal manner and the disposition will rest mainly with the regents. We are looking for a legal means of putting the project across," Burnett explained, "but it appears to me that the only way it can be done is by a special act of the legislature allowing the re gents to proceed with the project. The regents have no power to go through with a project of this kind entirely by themselves. In the case of the proposed girls' dormi tories a plan was worked out to pay for them by revenue derived by use but it also required a spe cial act of the legislature before we could go ahead with the sale of the bonds." Bonds Must Be Planned. The chancellor also said that the plan of selling bonds would have to be worked cut satisfactor ily before any progress could be made. It would have to be decided whether the bonds would be sold to trust companies or to indi viduals. Dean Foster of the law college (Continued on Page 2.)
