of Mrs. Maurice Johnson, the
only black on the board
expired in July of this year.
At the time her term
expired, it was thought that
Dr. Walter Thompson would
resign from the board and
that would permit the board
to have two blacks on it.
However, although Dr.
Thompson is not a regular
attender of the Library
Board's meeting, his appointment
to the board is a
special one. His term expires
July 1, 1977. At that time, his
seat on the board will no
longer exist.

Committee. h
Bahnson Hall, alderman of
the West Ward first stated p
that he knew very little about a
the situation at the center, but c
an the few times he had /
visited the center, there were h
hardly any people using it. p
Another alderman, John I
Palmer of the Northwest s
Ward, wanted to know just
why the city would want to J
approve the resolution for s
making the improvements. u
Richard Davis of the North p
r?
Ward, told the aldermen that
if the city did not make the h
improvements on the center r
now, the summer season h
would be over and the park
would not be used as much. t
He also pointed out that t
:here were peak periods at the v
:enter, but he assured the y
ildermen that the attendance t
it the center had grown
:onsiderably large over the c
Dast five years. t
Hall said that when he h

here were 26 people in the t
swimming pool and only 30 t
persons had been admitted to f
