The regional district is firmly behind the library board's attempt to deliver first-class library service to all residents of this area and it has funded the architect's preliminary plans.

The project must go to public tender and the archi- tects, who are currently in- volved in several projects in this area, indicate that in the Kootenays there is little competition in the sub-trades for work of this type. Thus the million-dollar es- timate is reached for what is essentially a very basic build- ing using local materials and common technology. Building costs are increasing 1.25 per cent per month; putting off construction will only mean a much higher price tag in the future. Where will this .money come from? A referendum early in 1982 will authorize the regional district to bor- row up to $1 million for the purpose of constructing a re- . gional library.

The Procrastinators Club of Tucson says it finds itself in a rare position — being forced to hurry up. Because of the two-cent increase in the postal rate Nov. 1, the procrastinators say they will have to mail their Christmas cards earlier than uncontemplated. However, the cards aren't for Christmas 1981. They're for Christmas 1980, the trad- itional season's greeting of the stalwart stallers. The cards will be mailed Oct. 31, said Stuart Gellman, founder of the chapter, be- cause waiting one more day would be inconvenient for members who still have stashes of six-cent stamps. Gellman said they planned to mail the cards on its normal mid-summer sched- ule, but were delayed by several projects, including an award to Gov.

The regional district calcu- lates the former charge to be 2 mills, and the latter 1.55 mills, for a total of 8.65 mills. With the one-third grant, this is reduced to 2.88 mills. To give an example: a house valued at $72,700 (as per your tax notice) has a taxable value of $8,000. With the one-third grant, the an- nual tax for building and operating the library would be $23.04 and without it, $28.40.
