Parma Seeks Library Petitions with approxi mately 370 signatures of Parma area residents have been turned over to the Canyon County Commis sioners requesting creation of a rural library district. The proposed district would coincide with boun daries of Parma School District No. 137, according to Mrs. Dorothy Tyson, a mem bcr of the Parma Library Board. Ernest Anderson, a long time Parma attorney, and his wife have offered the city $100,000 for construction of a new library in Parma, pro vided the structure is built on city land. The existing Parma library is located in the City Hall. Mrs. Tyson said the City Council cannot afford to accept the gift unless a library district is formed to take in a larger area. With the district, the city and rural residents would contract li brary services together, with the building located in the city. County Commissioner William C. Norberg Jr., of Parma, said Tuesday the maximum levy allowed by the library district law is three mills. On the 1974 assessed valuation of the rural area involved, three mills would raise about $15,000 annually, he said. The city of Parma is levying five mills for its library. 1 ■■ DANCE SAT., OCT. 12 EAGLES & GUESTS EAGLES HAU Drinks—2 fori, 9-9:30 P.M. ? DANCING 9:30 P-M. - 1 A.M.
