Mildred Higham, City Recorder.
Salt Lake City Corporation

Salt Lake City, Utah 84111
Dear Ms. Highams
Dennis Day, the Librarian of the Salt Lake City Public Library,
and I have reviewed the proposed City ordinance concerning the
operation of the Public Library and have found it perfectly
acceptable. As you and the City Attorney's office pointed out,
it is in basic agreement with the State law governing these
matters.
We will assume, of course, that if there were any changes in the
future in the State law, they would be incorporated into the City
ordinance. Although we certainly do not anticipate any problems,
it is our understanding that the State law would take precedence
were there discrepancies between the two.
I hope the few days we have taken to review the ordinance have
not unduly delayed your office's work on its enactment.
Sincerely,
SALT LAKE CITY PUBLIC LIBRARY
Elizabeth Montague, President
Library Board of Directors
