LIBRARIAN=S REPORT
The Librarian's report was accepted and the financial
statement was approved.
OLD BUSINESS
The Librarian reported that after a conference with the
City Council, in which Mrs Johnson participated, it was
decided that it would be advantageous to resubmit a re-
vised budget to the Council. The Librarian, in consul-
tation with Mrs. Johnson, made several changes in the
roposed expenditures and reduced the total increase from
1,751.89 to $373.91. The various items were explained
to the new members; and after some discussion, it was
moved by Mr. Fichtner that the revised budget, as reeom-
mended by the Librarian, be accepted. Mr. Cargill seconded
the motion, and it was carried.
A report was made on the letter submitted by the Secretary
of the Board to the City Council in regard to the change
in the status of the Junior Librarian and the changing of
the position at the Branch from junior to senior librarian.
These changes, which correspond to the increased respon-
sibility of the posibions mentioned, would produce no
increase in our new salary budget. The Librarian reported
that he and Mr. Burns submitted the letter to Mr. Simonds
with some verbal explanations. The Librarian was informed
by Mr. White, City Clerk, that the City Council did not
wish to consider any changes ;at this time. After some dis-
cussion of the subject, it was decided that the Librarian
should resubmit a letter of similar nature for the further
consideration of the City Council, in that the Board feels
that the efficiency of the Library would be increased con-
siderably by these changes, which would probably result in
an over-all reduction in the total salary budget.

to his approval.

ciation for services rendered to the Library be sent to

necessary readings, appropriate changes will be made in
