Excerpt: Town and village officials have said they will not approve a new longterm funding agreement for library operations unless the town and library board resolve their dispute over who should control the Haass land.
Town officials say the land belongs to the town because Haass willed it to the town for town library purposes. The Library Board argues that state law requires that all lands bequeathed for library purposes should be controlled by a library board.
