The Library Meeting.

! In answer to Il call sent to number of ndivd-
uals in person and all in general through the pa
pers, some - ladies and gentlemen met at the
high school building to take preliminary steps
for forming library association. Among those
present were Messrs. L. Y Griggs, Charles Blan-
chard, S. z. King, County Supt. Williams DR..
Hard, David A. Cook ii. ii. Smith and daughter,
Mr.. and Mrs T. y. Catlin, Mr.. and Mrs. Scott,
Dr.. Petit, 4. -. Trimblc, j. L. Scott, ID. McDou-
gall, y baldwin, Mrs. Curyca, Miss Chandler,
and Il nlimbcr of others.
The meeting was called 10 order by Mr. Smith
when Thos D. Catlin was called to the chair and
Dr. Petit made secretary. Mr. Smith, in stating
the object of the meeting, expressed great hope
for the ultimate success Of the plan if there
be united action in its Development; that there
was no mpossbility, but steady work would be
necessary to make Il beginung-aftcr that it
would take care Of itself. He suggested various
plans for organizing, the most feasible seeming
to be that of sort Of a stock company-to sell
shares at fixed sum on which shares to levy
slight tax per annum for running expenses, etc,
and giving shareholders special privileges. Mr..
Catlin cited an example Of this method of organ
i2ation which had operated eXcellently. Co.
Supt. Williams also related his experience, and
the state of the county libraries. lie also said
that in connection with Otawa's Schools pub
lie library is an absolute necessity; and by citing
the case of Mendoza showed that the city would
gain many wealthy and desirable citizens of the
surrounding country, who go to the cities to ed
ucatc their children. The idea of organizing I'm.
der the state law was discussed, but generally
considered impractcablc at present.
On motion Of Ed.Nattinger committee of five
was appointed TO draft plan of organization TO
report at an adjourned meeting. The chair ap
pointed rs such committee Messrs. Nattingcr,
McDougall, Smith, Mrs, Curyca and Miss Chan
dler.
On motion of McDougall the meeting adjourn
ed to next Friday evening at 73O o'clock, at the
court house, to which meeting the public are
cordially and earnestly invited.
