Mayor Burton said he had talked with Mr. Bigham and he would serve as he had in the past. Councilman Reed suggested Arden Pinkham.

Mr. Omar Bacon, Jackson County Librarian, introduced Mr. Paul Scott, Consultant, State Library Board. He was in Central Paint to visit the Library. He said-the staff was excellent, and he was. very impressed with the operation. He said the Library was in an ideal location, but the space was too crowded. He heard the council was anticipating moving the library to another location. He felt if they did, that they keep it in the downtown area as`~it is now. He said he .had examined the store building across the street and found that. it-was smaller than the present library. The Church of Christ property was too large to be of any value as~a Library. At the present time, there a re no State Funds available for assistance on building libraries. The Federal government has cut the funds in the proposed budget. At the present time, the State helps with l+9~, but if the Federal government has reduced-their funds, then the State would have to reduce theirs. If the city is interested in building a new building, he suggested they have a member of the council, librarian, and a member of the State Board to help plan.
