Drinking Drivers Warned Before dealing with the applicliion. the committee urged the board to preâ€" sent a complete breakdown of where it is the least expensive of the three libraries built this year it needs some point of interest and elaboration. Richard Stanbury, board viceâ€"chairâ€" man advised the committee that all extras had been stripped from the building to save costs. He pointed out that because the Downsview branch "What‘s an entrance anyway? All you have to do is walk through a door", he commented.

"The only two issues which delayed the opening of this branch were the dispute over the doorway and the shortage of books. We feel we will ‘have both these issues cleared by the Spring and although I cannot give you a definite date for the opening, it is sufficient to say it will definitely open this Spring. We have appointed ’Mr. Bohus Derer as Branch Librarian }for this branch. Mr. Derer was formerly heading our Bookmobile Service and is in a good_ position to realize the needs of this whole area formerly serviced by a Bookmobile.} We had hoped to have the entrance that was designed for the hbrary! since it is the only elaborate part of this branch but if this is not p0~sihlc! _ The matter will be further reviewed at the next meeting of council, at which time the architect wil? submit sketches of the proposed entrance. The construction of the doorway should take from 6 to 10 weeks. ; Mr. Stanbury suggested that if the township gets excess money from the winter works program because of the new library,. then â€"theâ€" money should ‘be given To the lfBrarics fof essentials.
