Notes: At the November meeting of the county board, Mrs. Wieber asked for an increase of $500.00 in appropriation to be used in buying books for use in county schools. The Finance Committee agreed to do this if the city would also add $500.00. The city council approved of this, so the county appropriation was raised to $2,000.00 and the city to $3,800.00 for the coming year.
