The properies, at 302 and 306 Coîborne S t. W., are now occu- pied by a vacant lot and house respectively. The house wilf eventually be demohished.

The decision does not mean that construction of a new faci- lity is imminent, Brunelle stressed.. "The only comfort people can take is that the new library wijl be downtown,» he said.
