The cost of setting up the library, including the purchase of books has been estimated by the Library Board at $165,000. And Councillor Barr said that the council should first decide ibrary where it would get this money before investigating the project's feasibility. He said he objected to putting people to work on a committee when the municipality didn't know whetber it would have funds to support the library. Speaking in favor of the project, councillor I8ill Clarke said "I think it's a reasonable exercise, myseif."
