from the Post Estate, through Lee L. Baker, at the cost of $25.00.

The crowded condition of the Library was next discussed, and another
resolution drawn up:
RESOLVED: - That we, the members. of the Clearwater Library

Board, appeal to the City Commission in our desperately crowded con-
dition - because of the great increase of readers, that you erect a
temporary, weatherproof extension at the rear of the Library building,
as a librarian's office, work room and storage room.
This resolution to be presented in person by the President, Mr. Bayly
and the Librarian, at the next meeting of the City Commission.
Librarian was granted leave to go to the A.L.A. in Richmond, VA., May

March 31, 1936
Mr. Taver Bayly,
President, Clearwater Library Board,
Clearwater, Fla.
Dear Mr. Bayly,
Acknowledging receipt of the resolution passed by your Board
March 30th, that no more materials can be supplied for the WPA
Library project, will you kindly advise to what extent it is nec-
essary that this project should continue.
If the necessary work is done perhaps we can disoontinue the
project and request the application of the funds that have been
set up for it to something else. However, the only funds the city
has available at the present time is the $100 allocated and if there
are to be more expenditures for materials, I would request that the
same he taken up with Mrs. Thornton before the materials are ordered
to be sure that there are funds available to pay for them.
Very truly yours
;.
A. C. Nichols
City Manager
