Report next made by Commissioner Leffler and Speer that the $300.00 per year offered
to be paid by the Seminole County Board of Public Instruction for the privilege of the
free use of the Municipal Library by the teachers and students of the County, would not
be sufficient to defray the additional expenses which would be incurred, particularly
as such action would eventually result indirectly in the free use of the Library
by practically the entire county.
Thereupn Commissioner Shinholser moved that the Seminole County Board of
Public Instruction be advised as follows: That the opening of the Municipal Library
to the people of the County will necessitate the employment of a.full time assistant to
the Librarian at a salary of $50.00 per month. That the'City is not in position to pay
this extra expense of operation but is willing to put its property and literature at
tie service of the people of the County should the School Board be able to arrange for
the salary of the extra help as above, this arra.ggement to be subject to change or
cancellation should the City later find it necessary.
