(A) Special appropriation $5,000.00 requested by Trustees in 1941 to be appropri- ated by Town over a period of five years-at the rate of $1,000.00 each year. - (Involves Lighting, Heating and Renovation.)
Due to existing conditions this appropriation was not granted for 1942, 1943, 1944, 1945 or 1946, but was granted for 1947 and 1948.
Trustees call attention to importance of this special appropriation being made available as soon as conditions warrant.

If the amount collected by Library and turned in to Town Treasurer ($1,327.77) is taken into consideration, the net cost to taxpayers for 1948 ($11,385.93) is 62.7% of the cost for year.
Attention is called to the estimated contribution for 1949 of $4,500.00 from Trust Funds. On this basis the the town cost will be only 76.7% of the total budget including the special appropriation of $1,000.00 if granted, and 71.6% if that special appropriation is not granted.
In the interest of the public the trustees urgently recommend that the facilities of the Library be expanded
Town-Normal Basis
Town-Special Fund Town-Cr. to E & D a/c
through the addition of a building to be used as a Children's Library. Trustees appeared before the Southbridge Public Improvement Committee in 1947 and $48,500.00 was set up as a capital outlay for 1948-all or a part of this amount to be raised by a Bond issue. This recommendation was included in the warrant for 1948, but was turned down by the Finance Committee and the voters.
Again it is stressed that this needed Children's Library will not only develop reading habits for children, but will make available to adults the present facilities under more satisfactory conditions.
*Difference between appropriation of Trustee funds and 1948 disbursements is accounted for by purchases of equipment ordered in 1947 but not received or billed until 1948.
