In the opinion of the board this was the first consideration. Now ere should like to ask your honorable Body for a furthur appropriation of fmoney for new books for the library. The Librarian informs us that two hundred and forty-six (246) books were hope- lessly ruined by water last winter during the freezing weather, due to a broken water �• pipe. if the inventory of books in the library is to be the same at the end of the year as at the beginning, s:e should replace with new books these discarded titles. A reasonable estimate of the cost of these books would be about two dolls. rs (u2.0 i) per volume. Yours truly, Library Board By: Amanda lierstrom E Secretary It •sas :coved by Councilman Carroll that a sun, not to exceed ;;500.00 or as much thereof as required be appropriated from monies in the State Aid 'Fund to provide for purchase of books to restore inventory.

Re ?:igh School Recreation Center Councilman Carroll stated that he believed the students he Council Chambers present 1n t_ had a matter they wished to bring to the attention of the officials present and asked that they be granted permission so to do at this time. Jim Caldwell, Bob Adams and Gloria .,cLarney, each speaking for the group as a whole, gave an outline of a proposed plan to provide a recreation center for high school students. To date, they had considered various locations and felt thnt the building known as the "Odd =allows Hall" best suited their needs. They felt they could create and operate such a center but that a certain amount of financial assistance ,.az considered necessary in order to obtain equipment and facilities which would o be desirable. In this respect it was thought that perhaps the City could help by providing i funds. A general discussion ensued with many questions asked and answered. it was moved by'. 'Councilman Carroll that the balance of the fun a appropriated for the public playground program which had been discontinued be re -appropriated for use of the high school students in their proposed recreation program. This motion was seconded by Councilman W"veller. l •`t ��}., 1 a'I jz` tJ� , I i i.i IU ?S OI' 'P'E 1i7IGULAR ST:SS ON OF THE CI Y COIR:CILd OCTOB`:R 19. 1943.
