Estimate $5,000 for
Roads and Library
The annual Grattan township
meeting was held Tuesday and
budgets were approved for the
road and bridge fund and for li
brary purposes.
It was estimated five-thousand
dollars would be needed for road
and bridge expenses and five
thousand-dollars for library op
erations. Both figures are the
same as the budget requests of a
year ago. Both requests were
unanimously approved.
It was also unanimously voted
to have the township board ap
point a committee to investigate
the possibility of severing the li
brary from township operation
with a view toward making the
O’Neill library a municipal li
brary.
This motion was advanced on
the theory the road-bridge and
library financial comparisions do
not always mix.
The library is undergoing a
program of improvement of t he
physical plant, and relatively few
!>ooks are purchased each year
from library funds. However, lib
rary patronage has trebled in re>
cent years.
