Library Seeks Drive Up Book Return at Fifth Street
Librarian James C. Marvin asked the city council Monday to approve a drive-up book return on Fifth Street near Third Avenue SE. The box would resemble post office drive-up mail boxes and could remove one parking meter. Authorities refer the plan to police and engineering for review. Marvin said the device is common nationwide and would ease returning books for a system circulating more than two thirds of a million volumes annually.

Six-Cent Hourly Pay Raise Granted to City Workers
Cedar Rapids city workers received six-cent hourly pay boosts on Monday as the city council approved new rules on working conditions. The increase, roughly ten dollars monthly for about ten employees in streets, sanitation, and waterworks, comes with broader regulations applying to Civil Service staff and police and fire personnel. Union reps from AFL CIO criticized the plan as unacceptable, noting vague union representation and questions about future actions. The changes include 90 days of emergency leave, terminal leave upon resignation or death, a potential 40-hour week adjustment, and holidays shifted to workdays.
