I suspect that as long as the city made it 'reasonably free' (as in beer) through libraries or on loan (perhaps with small deposit) from the engineer's office, then the courts would consider that 'good enough'. The only problem I've found is that due to the size and cost of the volumes, the library doesn't loan them - they are for in library reference only here. -Adam Gary Neal wrote: > Preach on Brother Matt.
