Budget. Mrs. Cohendet and Mrs. Harrison reported on their meeting with the City Manager
in regard to the addition of a 10 cent tax for building of the stacks extension_. He
stated that as long as Mr. Xarmel held that power of the trustees to use the funds
derived from the library tax for building purposes was ambiguous he would not
recommend the additional tax, but that if due to more extensive search of the law
Mr. Karmel thought there would be a possibility that the courts would hold such a'
tax applicable to the erection of buildings, he would be inclined to view with favor
the addition of the tax. Pyr. Lechich stated that additional study was being given
to the library act, and he was optimistic of the possibility of a favorable decision.
