Plan for costly new library questioned by committee chair
A city advisory panel debated a proposed new main library costing 4.82 million dollars. Chair Ih G. Appleton urged against the plan as too large and expensive, fearing tax impact and a potential ballot rejection with no further votes for seven years. Other members defended the library as essential for research and city needs. The seven‑e member subcommittee backed the plan for recommendation to the council with an Aug 20 meeting upcoming.

Officials say 100 new buses could help the 4,500 essential customers, yet 3,500 new riders remain unattainable given economic and parking constraints.
