Not Enthused About Library Addition Plan
Plans by the Library Board to extend the library met with little enthusiasm at council Monday night. A letter from John Bellamy reminded council of a June letter asking to discuss hiring an architect and repeated the request that the mayors of council are not in favour of raising that building.

Deputy Reeve Arthur Speight noted that financing this year is impossible. Council will meet with the Library Board as a courtesy.
