A plan to shift the schools di-
vision service out of the Central
Library to the Southwest Branch

$4,000 more books at the main

library officials.
Harry N. Peterson, District Lii

the second floor of the Southwest
Branch Library has been vacant
for some time. since the use did
not justify the cost of keeping it
open.

about So million to 81 million. Mr..

he said it would require Al years

If you have been wondering
why you can't park downtown
maybe Traffic Director George E
Keneipp gave the answer to the
House Bates Subcommittee.
Since 1941, he told the budg-
eteers, traffic here has increased
by more than Sc per cent.
He was arguing for more park
ing meters and traffic lights
among other things. There now
are 1900 curb spaces where park
ing is limited to an hour or less
All but 400 of these having park
ing meters.
Curb parking never will meet
the problem, he said, estimating
that at least $4,000 additional
off street places are needed
Some progress has been made, he
said, but "it seems that, as fast
as we make gains, the gains are
taken up by increased demands. 81
Doubts about the Districts al
coholic clinic program were
voiced by Director Donald Clem-
mer of the Corrections Depart
ment and Budget Officer Walter

IF this thing does not prove
more successful in the next two
years." said Mr.. Fowler, I'VE will
recommend it being abolished en-
tirely."
Mr.. Clemmer, a member of the
citizens committee for the clinics
was disappointed in the results
Il must say in all frankness," he
told the Bates subcommittee, "it
has not in any observable measure
helped our alcoholics problem at
all"
He was somewhat mollified
however, by the fact that DR.
Leopold Wexberg and his aides
now are able to send clinic Staffers
Ito the District Jail to administer
to the alcoholics there.
Mr.. Clemmer said most alco-
Iholics do not belong in prison
Most of those jailed, he added
are Staggering drunks on the
street, who are relatively harm
less"
