PROMISED LIBRARY
Grounds of Southeast Branch
to Be Improved July |,
Critics Told.

Answering a protest regarding the
undeveloped condition of the grounds
OF the Southeast Branch Public
Library, Seventh and c streets south
east, which was voiced last night by
the Southeast Business Mems Asso-
citation. DIR. George +. Bowerman,
public librarian, today announced
that the money for landscaping the
grounds would become available July
] and that the work already had been
ordered started at that time.
The necessary appropriations for
this work, d.. Bowerman pointed out
was asked a year ago, but it was
found the money could not be released
for the work, due to lack of specific
wording in the appropriation act for
this particular project. A new au-
thorization was incorporated in the
appropriation act for the coming fiscal
year and the funds will be released
July l.
Plans Are Announced.
DIR. Bowerman said that ap-
proXimately 81 900 would be expended
in identifying the grounds of the
Southeast Branch Library. which was
built about three years ago and that
about 5000 would be spent in similar
work on the grounds of the Mount
Pleasant Branch Library, which is in
virtually the same undeveloped con-
dition as the Southeast branch.
Terming the condition of the South
east Branch Library "a disgrace and
an eyesore," the Southeast Business
Mems Association. at it's meeting last
night, at Simpsons Hall, adopted a
resolution calling for immediate inn
provement of the place. The action
was taken on motion of James B.
Flynn.
