Wyoming County Court Approves Recreation Budget
Wyoming County Court approved more than 40 000 for recreation in area communities but allocated zero for a county library. Library officials urged 10 000 to 12 000 plus 5 200 for furnishings to start service, with room set aside in the courthouse annex. A 1959 bookmobile program drew strong local interest, but court members missed a scheduled meeting on library funding.
