Art Library Billiards Room Dropped by Trustees
MILWAUKEE The Public Library Board of Trustees decided Tuesday to remove the billiard table from the Charles Allis Art Library mansion. Protests by the Billiard Congress of America failed to sway the vote, with concerns over rafish connotations and maintaining artistic surroundings influencing the decision. The room will be explored for other uses such as chess or related activities.
