It certainly must not be for the employees but for the people who pay the taxes. 1 The most active group, and by far the most articulate group are the backers of a new library. By sheer weight of letters to the editors of the local papers one would think that the only problem the city has is the need for a new library. Far more important is a need for a sewage disposal plant Whats more, should we abandon the present downtown site of the Main Library It would revert to the donor. The city does not own the land nor the building of the present library. Mayor Lee suggested that the city schools cooperate by allowing the school libraries be opened in the evenings for the public. It has also been suggested that the present Main Library be brought out to the sidewalk and raised to a four or five story building. . .1 15-m- an ...
