Big Increase tn the Circulation
of Books.
The Board of Directors of the Public
Library met yesterday, President Dobin
son in the chair, and Directors F. How
ard, J. Mills Davies and II. Jay Han
chette and Miss Kelso, Librarian, pres
sent. The Librarian reported, showing
the amount received from dues and hnel
in December as $112.56. Miss Kelet
also reported that 10 subscribers hat
registered, and that during the thirty
one days in which the library had beer
open 9,7S6 books had been handed owe
the counter. In November 1881 books
we're issued, and the increase during the
month was 2,525. Miss Kelso also re
ported that more books had been giver
out in January to date than during
the whole month of September
and that in one day 700 books had beer
issued.
The matter of moving the newspapers
to another room, so as to give more
space to the readers of books, was dis
cussed at some length and finally referred
to committee, consisting of Messrs
Hanchette, Howard, Davies and Presi.
dent Dobinson, to report upon at the
next meeting. 1t was stated that the
newspapers attracted q number of peo.
pie who appeared to have nothing else in
life to do than to sit in the chairs and
read, and that those who desired tc
make actual use of the nles were unable
to reach them. 1t wss also stated thai
the room occupied by the files was very
much needed for students and readers.
Director Hsnchette brought up the
matter of ventilatiug the reading rooms.
1t appeared that for some reason nc
ventilators were provided for the read
structed, and that the odors which were
met there were enough to drive healthy
people away. 1t was stated that fre-
quently as many as $50 to 200 people
assemble in the reading rooms at one
time, and the clerk was instructed to
request the Council to have four large
ventilators connecting with the roof put
in under the direction of the Building
Superintendent.
The Book Committee was empowered
to visit Cucamonga and inspect large
number of books for sale at that place.
The resignation Of Miss Jessie A.
Gavitt, Assistant Librarian, to take effect
January 31st, was read. On motion it
was accepted with regret. and the clerk
was instructed to convey to Miss Gavitt
the gratitude of the board for the
faithful and efficient service she had
given in the library.
Nominations for Assistant Librarian, to
take effect on February 1st, were declared
in order, and the only one named was
Mics Addie Hssse, who has been in the
library ever since it reopened. Miss
Hasse was appointed by unanimous
vote.
A communication from A. F. Frew.
asking for an appointment as driver of
the library wagon, was read and placed
on file.
The board then adjourned.

NEW PULLEYS.
Appliances Which Make the VIA
duct safer.

Appliances which Make the VIA
duct safer.
Persons passing over the San Fernando
street viaduct frequently have noticed
lately that new depression pulleys were
being placed at either end. Probably
fow people know that these pulleys are
made after entirely new plans by the
worthy Superintendent OF the road, Col.
j. Q. Robinson. The gra le there is very
steep-about one foot rise in fve-and o
slight accident occurring there shortly
after the opening of that branch showed
the inadequacy of the old style
depression pulley. With his usual
energy, Mr.. Robinson Immediately
designed the present improved
pulleys, and at once went up to San
Francisco and had them constructed.
The pulleys now in place will not allow
the cable to slip out of place, and being
TWO in number where one was formerly
used, divide the strain between them,
and even if one should break the acci.
dent would only cause short stoppage,
and neither the men nor the machinery
could possibly be injured. In addition
to this the new pulleys enable the com
pany to dispense with all but one Of the
watchmen employed on the viaduct. and
the extra men can be put to work on
other parts of the limo. A guard rail lie
to be constructed along the entire viaduct
shortly, which will render accidents OF
derailment of the cars practically impos-
s;bls.

Federal Control of Immigration.
New York Post
The abuses at Castle Garden, as it
has been conducted under the New
York board of emigration commas
siOners, are sufficient in themselves
to demand a new order of things at
thot great landing place of foreigners
who come to this country for new
homes. Castle Garden should prop
erly be controlled and regulated by
the federal government, and it is only
by virtue OF a contract made by that
government with the state of New
York for the care Of paupers, that the
New York board of emigration has
been enabled to take charge of it.
Secretary Window has been advised
by the solicitor of the treasury that,
with the expiration OF the pauper con-
tract above mentioned no legislation
is required for the federal authority to
resume absolute direction of the emf
grafton service at this port. If he
acts OH this advice, as he doubtless
will do, there will be an abrupt end
of the petty quarrels and chickering's
that have been going on at Castle
Garden for a year or more past. 1t
will tie a grateful and wise change
