Crosby reported that he had some discussion concerning Tie possible use of the Hillside Fire Station, in case of abandonment, as a Branch Library. The further discussion seemed to indicate that because of lack of cross traffic flow and the unsuitability for the ready access of children, that this would be a poor location. Mr. Crosby continued his investigation with Mr. Mann and met with Mr. King of the Traosdale Company and after considerable discussion in which the possible use of certain areas of the Elementary School property which is near the commercial district might be considered, Mr. King said that he would find out the attitude of his company in regards to the possible sale at cost of a piece of property in or near the commercial area, the title of the property to revert to the Company in case the library did not use said property. Stacks Extension. The librarian stated that Mr. horberg had not as yet submitt- ed s e c es of t e proposed stack extension, but he had said that he would soon do so. Friends of the Library Group.
