Cr Hay said the meeting ;had discussed the need for a new public library in a central city site and had been 'told of a suggestion that it be on the cite of the Civic Centre. “The whole meeting was exploratory,” Cr Hay said, “but it has opened the way for more discussion on what many people think should be a metropolitan responsibility.”
