AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. Since the making and adoption of the budget for
the City Library of the City of Port Angeles for the year 1951, the
University of Washington has made available to Municipal Public
Libraries, a cooperative film lending service, which service requires
the cooperation of Municipal Libraries seeking to take advantage
thereof and the expenditure of funds by such Libraries. That by
reason of such service being made available subsequent to the making
and adoption of the budget of the City of Port Angeles for the year
1951, no funds have been provided in said budget for such cooperation
with the University of Washington in such film lending service.
That the State of Vashington has made available to Municipal Public
Libraries, including the Library of the City of Port Angeles, certain
funds which may be used for the purpose of cooperating with the
University of Washington in such film lending service. That such
funds were made available to the Municipal Library of the City of
Port Angeles subsequent to the adoption of the budget of the City of
Port Angeles for the year 1951, and were therefore, not included in
such budget. That cooperation with the University of Washington in
the establishment of such film lending service and the expenditure
of funds by the Municipal Library of the City of Port Angeles there-
for is necessary and desirable for the preservation of the public
safety, welfare and convenience of the City of Port Angeles, and that

service in the Public Library of the City of Port Angeles in cooper-
ation with the University of Washington is the sum of One Hundred

are no funds provided in such budget and the various funds thereof
to meet the expenses of establishing such film lending service, but
that the funds granted to the Public Library of the City of Port
iAngeles by the State of Washington are available for such expenditure,
•lexcept that they are not included in such budget by reason of having
been received subsequent to the making and adoption thereof.
