Dallas Voters OK $10-Million Library BondOn May 2 Dallas voters approved a $10.05-million bond issue, more than half of which will fund the construction of two new branches, the renovation of three existing facilities, and the development of a strategic plan. The remaining $3.65 million is designated for unspecified library improvements, the Dallas Morning News reported May 3. The library bond was one of 11 items on a $543.5-million package, and among those that passed with margins of 80% or more. Some $4 million more than City Manager John Ware had asked City Council to approve December 17, the library bond was nevertheless significantly less than the $35 million DPL trustees had requested to build or improve six branches. But that disparity apparently earned library backers enough sympathy that council members voted February 25 to fatten Ware's proposal somewhat. Posted May 11, 1998. |
