It was estimated that the* repair work necessary, not including the root, will cost in the neighborhood of $2,500. It was pointed out to the, board that there is no money on hand with which to do this work. Louis Kossi reminded Ilia fellow members flu the board that last year when he went before the aldermen and requested a large appropriation for this work, he was informed that this was impossible but if the board would decide on how much it would cost to put the building in shape the money would be raised by a bond issue. it was therefore decided to obtain figures for the cost of the improve ments and submit them to the al dermen for their action. It was pointed out that the reason the building is iti such bad shape is be ta use no money is appropriated with which to keep it in condition as the board must either ehfcose between spending the money obtained for the purchase of books or the care of the building.
