House Next Door. After being questioned, the Librarian stated that no action had been taken by the
city council on removal of the building at 1249 Bellevue, and possibly it would be delayed until such
time as the southwest one-quarter and the Steinbeck lot should be acquired by the city.
Chareina Machine. The Librarian extended his remarks as reported in the Librarian's Report. He
stated that at the moment he was waiting for further advisement by the Addressograph people on a
small pressure sensitive metal plate to be used on the patrons' identification card. In such case
it might be possible to add such plates directly to the present cards at the time they are presented
at the desk for withdrawal of books. He stated that although this was a possibility, he felt that
the salesman did not seem to know the limitations of his own product. If this is not possible,
regular Bro-Dart Dickman charge plates will be used.
Rua. The Library Board commented favorably on the rugs with which the Armsby and Board Rooms have been
carpeted. The Librarian stated that funds for their purchase came through the sale of used gift
and discarded books, conducted by the Friends of the Library.
