Mrs. McCann suggested that wo at a board go oa record as protecting
legislation on the State Agenda that would give state aid to libraries. We
oppose this Measure beoause libraries would then be state controlled* State
aid to librariess
1. benefits those already with many advantages
2. does not benefit us
3. results in loss of looal control
It was moved and seconded that the board will write a letter to State
Assemblyman Ashcraft and State Senator Sehrade. The notion was carried.
A discussion of the protest filed by the Parks and Recreation Board
followed. They are not pleased with the present site of the library since
it encroaches on their future park area*
Mrs. Cole brought up the fast that Mr. Molvia, the architect, had pre-
sented a sketch which faced the new library south, with a one-story level
only. Mr. Melvin wants to avoid the western sun at the entrance as much as
possible. The board would prefer that the building face west on Pio Pico
with overhangs or baffling, if necessary, to keep out the sun. Dr. Spivey
will go to see Mr. Melvin in Escondido to discuss toes* matters.
Dr. Spivey, in talking with Mr. Slater, the City Manager, learned that
the State Retirement Fund Isnds money at l& only for necessary municipal
publio buildings. Wa, as individual board aaaban, arc to try to find
