Library board gains unrestricted control of funds
Judge Tailiman ruled that the library may control all its funds without limitation. A city charter amendment created a library board replacing the former library commission and set aside a fund for library use. The library sought $245 from City Comptroller Riplinger for supplies from Lowman & Hanford, who refused without an especial appropriation. The suit tests the amendment and the board’s authority, with Corporation counsel planning an appeal to the supreme court.
