PUBLIC LIBRARY AND READING ROOM.
PROPOSAL BEFORE COUNCIL. TO MAKE USE OF TEMPORARY TOWN HALL. At last night’s Borough Council meeting the Town Clerk (Mi Win. Trueman) placed plans and specifications before the Councillors for the converstion of the temporary Town Hall into a library and reading room. The plans, which had been drawn up by Mr M. Varnham, architect of the Town Hall, provided for a band room in the front part of ihe building, as previously, with a Blanket room next containing a partitioned off office for the nursej and showing the rest of the building as a library and reading room. The Clerk said the plans were merely tabled for consideration by the Councillors. The whole of the work could he done for £BOO. At present the Council was paying 7/0 per week as rent for the existing library and he did not anticipate any difficulty in obtaining 5/- per week rent for the proposed Plunket room. This would bring in a revenue of 12/0 which was good interest on £3OO. No action was taken by the Council, the plans merely being tabled for consideration.
