Description: “City Hall” is a WBAP-TV series designed to give viewers in Fort Worth an understanding of the operations of their city government and the functions, aims, and responsibilities of its various departments. This particular episode focuses on the Fort Worth Public Library, and how it relates to an upcoming bond election. First, Library Director Arless B. Nixon outlines how the library system serves the Fort Worth community, and how the proposed $1,250,000 bond issue would address certain inadequacies and aid in its expansion. Then, legendary WBAP-TV broadcaster Frank Mills leads a rehearsed panel discussion between the studio audience and a panel.
