The proposed merger has been
the subject of a study by the
city and county library boards
which is still continuing, a board
member told the Herald and News
Friday. '
The policy statement, issued by
Ted De.Merrilt, chairman of the

states, Some concern has been
expressed to members of the li

officials that the proposed unifica

on the branch libraries) such as
the ones in Chiloquin, Bonanza,

At their last meeting, the
Klamath County Library Board
moved to reaffirm their stand that
the purpose of unification would
be to provide more library serv

It is the intent of the county
library board to strengthen and

Kennedy Forces Hunt Votes
To Up National Debt Ceiling
WASHINGTON U PI '-Administration
forces began today to
line up votes needed to raise the
ceiling on tlie national debt to a
record 309 billion, i
Although the outcome of the
vote Thursday probably will be
close, some new debt limit legis
lation is certain to pass. If the
debt limit is nut raised, the gov
ernment would soon have to stop
paying its bills. .
The debt now stands at $303.6
billion and is rising. Under exist
ing law, the temporary legal lim
it next month will drop well be
low the present size of the debt.
If the House approves the
measure, the ceiling would be
boosted to 307 billion through
June 30 and raise it during July
and August to (309 billion. That
would give the Treasury borrow
ing authority i: said is needed to
accommodate red-ink spending
immediately in prospect.
