OLD BUSINESS
ST-a-EFF -Extension. The Librarian briefly summarized the developments in the building
program. He sated that with allocated funds we would be able to complete the
Reference Room and add two completely equipped floors to the stacks extension,
including the slab floor for the upper stacks. This, he stated, would allow future
expansion with no interference with the lower two stacks. The Planning Commission
stated that the hearing on our application for a variance had been set for Monday
the 27th of July y at 8 P.M., and all persons interested should attend.
Bud et Examination. The budget was studied and various changes indicated by the
Librarian. it was noted that one cent of our tax rate was devoted to general over-
head expenses and insurance costs. The Librarian stated that this would have some
effect in our comparative cost of operation with other libraries, and that this
should be noted on any reports made to other institutions. Pres. Cohendet stated
that the 'article in a recent issue of the Advance concerning the city budget, which
stated in part "that the request was unexpected at this time" had misstated the
library's request for funds. The Librarian agreed with her and pointed out that
members of the city council had stated that they were well aware of the cost of the
stacks being in the neighborhood of $65,000 four years ago, and one member of the
council stated that the Library Board requested VO,000 previously. Thus, the
council knew that an amount in addition to last year's sum would be necessary for
completion of the stacks.
