USE LIBRARY MAY BE INCLUDED IN PRO POSED TOWN HALL Although tentative plans for the municipal building do not call for library rooms, as the public library is not under the control of the township authorities. Mayor Muir said today that there will be space available In the projected building for the library, if the directors desire it be placed In the hall The public library has been established for several years In Excelsior Hall, which has also served as the town" hall for many years.

Excelsior Hail is a very old building and it is not believed it will be available for the library or town uses for a much longer period. It is also considered by many as a bad fire risk. Many valuable volumes are housed In the building, and the library directors feel they would be a total loss if the structure should be visited by fire. A permanent building committee was appointed several months ago, by the Board of Directors of the Public Library to consider the erection of a new home. Clttle progress has been made in this direction, and it Is believed rooms In the ne wtown hall would make very acceptable quarters for the library until funds can be raised for the construction of a permanent home.

Plans for the proposed town hall, and methods by which it Is planned to finance the erection of the building, will be announced at an adjourned meeting of the Township Committee Friday night at 8.30 o'clock. The proposed location of the hall will tlso be announced at that time. If opinion is favorable toward the erection of a municipal building, steps will be taken at the meeting to introduce an ordinance providing for the purchase of the ironertv. and the floating of a bond issue to cover the cost of the building.
