Mrs. Wrench reported Kr. Msmoux reserved a tentative dste of
September 15, 1964, with the County Begiatr.»Trof Voters for a bond
election. This would require authorization from the City 60 days
prior to th»t date so September 15 cen be held only if the Council

the November general election. Mr. Ksiuoux had Indicated a
preference to wait until the first of 1964 and combine the library
with fire department cspltpl acquisitions.
Mrs. Sheffler questioned the advisability of the library
issue combining with n school bond election on September 15« It
was Pgreed th^t while it was sdvantageous to be in an entirely
aeo«.r«te election it w*»s better to risk competition thnn an
Indefinite delay.

the general fund to, in effect, cover part or all of the capital"""
outlay for land (original Vaughn property purchase). We have been
advised that the sousrhtafter increase or changes were refused for
inclusion in the 1964-65 final budget. The Board did receive a
verbs!^commitment by Mr. Mamoux to consider, later in the yeor, upon
special request by ;,the Board of Trustees a transfer from the
gBaeral fund if e specisl need and lack of funds can be demon-
strated.
