Johnson, Mr. Barns, Mr. Fichtner, Air. Cargill, Airs. Damm. MINUTES The minutes of the previous meeting of March 17, 1954, were read and approved. BILLS On a motion by Mr. Fichtner, seconded by Mrs. Damm., the bills in the amount of 61,975.77 were ordered paid. LIBRARIAN'S REPORT The Librarian's report was accepted and the financial statement was approved. NET BUSINESS Budget. A tentative budget was discussed, and a resume of the staff situation for the coming year was looked over. The detailed budget will be discussed at the next meeting. Book Cards. Some thought was given to the possibility of requiring a card for each user of the library and thus prohibiting the loaning of cards. It might be feasible to charge $.50 fee for a duplicate card to be issued to families who have non-resident cards. Letters to Mr. Atwater and Mr. Simonds. The secretary was requested to send a letter to Mr. Atwater containing a resolution passed by unanimous vote of the Board congratulating him on his election to the office of Mayor. A similar letter is to be sent to Air. Simonds expressing the Boards appreciation for his services as Mayor. ADJOURNMENT On a motion by Air. Burns, seconded by Mr. Fichtner, the meeting was adjourned. Resp c y submitted, G. P.
