Linda Foster reported that Mrs. Billy Kreck has offered to make two stained glass windows for the library in memory of her son. It was decided that further consideration be given before a final decision is made. 'Representatives of the architectural firm were present to answer questions concerning a timetable. They plan to let bids the end of June. Construction can then start around the first of August with completion in 6-9 months. There was a general discussion of the wage rate determination for laborers and the possible effect on our construction. U Mr. Shelton asked if some of the building materials could be reserved in advance to possibly defer rising costs. The representatives implied that the proposed materials are not the kind directly affected by supply/ demand (i. e. brick) so this action would not be necessary. There being no further business, the meeting adjourned at 4:45. Submitted by, Linda Foster, Librarian
