FINE continues delay at city library project concerns
The city faces a five thousand dollar per day liquidated damages clause as six items remain unacceptable at the central library complex. Flooding flooded the lower level, a mechanical monitoring system and a faulty chiller await replacement. Contractor reps say occupancy could occur in a week or two, possibly six weeks, but no occupancy certificate will be issued until all systems run. Completion has been delayed 13 months amid legal and labor issues.

California faces million drug abusers and heroin impact
California has about one million drug abusers with 110000 to 120000 addicted to heroin. Atty Gen Evelie Younger reports addicts commit 525000 robberies and thefts last year to support their habit, and heroin use consumes about 16 tons annually while enforcement captures less than 2 percent. Deputy Atty Gen Steven Blankenship notes 25 percent of heroin users are in California and 25 percent in New York City, with 5 percent elsewhere. He cites 4% agents in state and 314 federal DEA agents, urging more manpower as the problem outpaces law enforcement.
