RATIONALE FOR ONE TIME NEEDS
The Arkansas Arts Center facility in Little Rock is now ten years
old and time is beginning to tell. While the building was constructed
with the best available equipment, normal wear and tear has led to a concern
for the continuing successful operation of the facility.
The one time expenses included in the attached breakdown reflect the
scope of the needs in order to insure the efficient functioning of the
facility. The fact that major capital equipment replacement is generally
not included demonstrates the quality of the Arts Center staff in main-
taining the equipment. However, the many overhauls listed are necessary
as the Arts Center enters into its second decade of use.

TO THE MAYOR AND MEMBERS
OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS:
Gentlemen:
The Little Rock Public Library needs help
from the City to maintain reasonably adequate
library service for our citizens. We feel that
an annual appropriation of $150,000.00 would
enable us to "stay where we are."
I hope the information on the enclosed
sheet is justification enough, but if you have
questions, I would welcome the opportunity to
further explain our needs.
Respectfully submitted,
Alice Gray
Librarian

enclosure
BOOKS - $60 , 000 . 00
To replace $30 , 000 . 00 federal aid for books
and $20 , 000 . 00 reduction in our 1973 budget,
plus $ 10 , 000 . 00 for additional book purchases
for bookmobile because of their increased
use .
SALARIES - $70 , 000 . 00
To replace $37 , 000 . 00 wages paid to our em-
ployees with federal funds ; to assume 50% of
Model Cities employee ' s salary ; and to enable
us to bring our salaries in line with those
of other city employees . (We are not at-
tempting to include longevity pay. )
BOOKMOBILE MAINTENANCE - $5 , 000. 00
Through FY 1973 , the total expense for gas ,
oil , tires , and repairs has been paid with
federal funds .
PERIODICAL SUBSCRIPTIONS - $5 , 000 . 00
In particular there is a need for business
and industrial services such as VALUE LINE,
STANDARD & POOR ' S , etc .
PERIODICAL UPDATING - $10 , 000. 00
Missing issues of magazines need to be
bought and back files bound and put out on
the shelves so that students and research-
ers can find the information they need .
This is the only way to insure that back
issues of periodicals will be preserved.
