aged. 1t started under very Asttering auspices,
and has An unusually well selected stock of books
for the foundation of a library. But it is only
the foundation Of one, and no means have ever
been adopted for its growth. At first no adequate
effort was u ade to obtain subscribers, that it
was necessary to use the funds on hand TO pay
running expenses. OF course, the time came
when the funds exhausted and the library
was closed. Then, two years ago, a subscription
list was procured, sufficiently large to pay the ex-
penses of keeping the room open for two alter
moons and one evening each week which has
since been done. Even then could the association
have devised any means of adding books,
and the affair placed permanent footing.
But no books have been added, and, a necessary
conse que nee, the subscriptions have dropped off,
and the funds are now exhausted.
If the association. after what was done for them
two years ago, had not the "gumption" to take
hold and keep, at least, that measure of success
that they had thrust upon them, what hope is
there that they will ever do anything with the
Library
The proposition is made to break up and divide
the library. This wonld be outrage. A por
ton of the books was purchased from the funds
given by members of the Association, hut another
portion giuen by other parties, and still
other portion was bought with money giren from
various sources. These are held by the Assocs
ton IN frust, and are not their private property,
in equity, though they may be in law Had the
Association seen tit, for the last two years. to as
sess its own members small amount, for the
purchase of books. the aspect of affairs would
now be very different. Could some new books be
added Immediately. it is not even now too late to
save the Library. w.
