Is the material, you know, when you set up these tests for related materials that officers can--ah-- or applicants can--ah-- pertain to, it would be on file at different areas within the City. Hudgens: Yes, the City's required to ah--tell the officers what text the test is going to be over; in other words, you don't have to tell them what chapter and page but you do have to tell them what book or books the questions are going to come out of. Then you have to have a reasonable number of those to be checked out-------- Davis: He said a reasonable number and also give them enough time should--tell them where they can buy that source should they wish to---- Hudgens: Ah, we envision we'll---we've got one of the small conference rooms back there we're going to try to convert into a little library, and we'll move Mary's ~ office back there next door to it this next year so when we start aquireing those we'll just put them on a shelf back there and then officers can come in and either check them out or thudy them at that time.
