City Council withhold the presentation of a bond issue at this time subject
to s.�ch clarification which, if favorable, would allow an increase in the
library tax ei cher to b,.iild the extension in toto or in part and, if the ,.-rt
case °;�s not favorable, a bond issue could be submitted at a later date. Wo
