Mr. President, Gentlemen,

When I agreed in principle some weeks ago to speak on the work

of the Library Select Committee of the Urban Council, I must have done so

either in a moment of weakness or in the hope that I would be out of the

Chair in good time. However, I have been caught, and so have you.

gentlemen, as I imagine you did not really invite me, except in a rather

peculiar round-about way.

It is naturally an honour for me to address you today, as your

Rotary Club has stood well the test of time, and is in the forefront of

responsible groups on this side of the harbour, involved in community

life and thought.

Later on this year there will be justifiably happy and elaborate

functions in connection with the tenth anniversary of the City Hall, so I

can in all decency refer only briefly to the Urban Council Library service

in 1962; but before I do even that, may I take you back still further to

the Library in the first City Hall which was opened in November 1869 by the

Duke of Edinburgh.
