The library board decided to resubmit the vote on June 28, since the
Board of Education had already set this date for the vote on the
purchase of the South Farmingdale branch building. The tax ap­propriation
will be reduced by $ 10,000. Library trustees Carl Gorton
and Warren Altmann were against resubmission of the budget.
The Board voted unanimously to retain the current staff and not to
set any reduction of hours until after the next vote. Meanwhile, the
staff would be paid from the fines and fees accounts.
