Report of the Library Building Committee
Mr. Moderator:
We herewith respectfully submit the following report of the Library Building Committee:
1. Having been duly appointed on January 17, 1963, the Committee held an organizational meeting January 22, 1963, at which time temporary Chairman Joseph C. DiAntonio, was unani- mously elected permanent chairman of the Library Building Com- mittee.
2. On January 29, 1963 a meeting was held with members of the previous Library Building Committee in order to obtain all available facts and information regarding the need for additional library facilities, and the basis of their plans and recommendations therein.
3. On February 2, 1963, the Committee made a thorough inspection of existing facilities in Memorial Hall.
19
4. On February 9, 1963, the Committee met to appraise the feasibility of expanded library facilities within the present structure.
5. Pursuant to this possibility, and at the request of the Committee, on February 19, 1963, an inspection of Memorial Hall was made by Mr. R. J. McCarthy, State Building Inspector for the Department of Public Safety. His written report is pending.
6. On February 20, 1963, a meeting was held with the Board of Library Trustees in order to acquaint ourselves with the con- siderations and opinions of said board relative to increased library facilities.
On February 23, 1963, the Committee met with Mr. Donald Phillips of Wendell T. Phillips Associates, Architects. The Com- mittee reviewed the plans which were drawn by Mr. Phillips' organization for the previous committee and discussed various alternate measures. Mr. Phillips gave his experienced opinion with reference to the availability of and qualifications for Federal emer- gency funds for construction programs. Our Committee considers such information of paramount importance, since, to our knowledge, there is no evidence available of any written government approval of a Federal emergency appropriation towards any proposed library expansion plan. Mr. Phillips graciously volunteered to draw up, without charge, a set of plans and an estimate of costs for alterations to the present Memorial Hall, as a service to the Town of Milford. His report is pending.
