Library Trustees Weigh Cutting Expenses In 1923 Budget
Butte public library trustees face a nearly $3,000 shortfall for the coming fiscal year as they seek to maintain operations without reducing efficiency. Yearly expenses are projected at $28,000, exceeding income by about 240. Some trustees favor trimming one or two assistants, but this requires the librarian's approval. The board will discuss finances and retrenchment at the January 23 meeting.
