On the second point, Mr. Froh ask~d that hi~ remarks at the January 30 meeting in reference to the Brooks Holman matter be included in the Minutes, in order to explain his vote of "Nay" on the motion to pay Mr Holman the amount due.

On mot i on of Dr. Poo I, the M i niJtes wer,e approved as corrected. I Mrs. G~n~ Scrutchin, Pr~siderit of the Library Board, and Mrs. Adah May Obenhaus, Li brari an, came befor'e the Counci I to report the i r attendance at the Comni i ssi oners Court that morn i ng. The City Manager explained that the St~te Lib~ary had notified the local Library that it would withhold the promised $3,000 in processed books unless the Hays County Commiss~oners met their ful I obligation of $4900 for the Hays County Bookmobile. Copy of the telegram to that effect is attached as a part of the Minutes. It was explained that the Bookmobile was cut from $4900 to $3000 in the Hays County Budget, leaving $1900 short 'of the required amount to operate the facil ity for the coming year. The City Manager recommended that the Counci I authorize $1,000 of the book fund diverted to the Bookmobile operation, provided that the County would supply the other $900. He said it~ould, in effect, be "trading $1000 for $3000". Mrs. Obenhaus brought out that the $3000i n processed books actual.ly amounted to more than $3000 value" since the local Library does not have an adequate staff for processing books. The Bookmobile carries 10,000 books, whi Ie the Library has only 6,000 ; the Bookmobile serves local peop I e as we I I as the rural areas of Hays County. Mr. Wo I ff sa i d
