A gentleman in town writes a commu-
nication for publication In the REPORTER
In which he takes exceptions to the plan
reported by the majority of the trustees
OF the Skowhegan Library Association
and thinks the 1000 volumes belonging
to that Association should be turned over
to the Free Public Library without con-
dltlons. He argues well that the public
and the town have contribu ted largely to
the funds with which books have been
purchased, and In sustaining the library
so that the $500 originally paid by stock
holders is much less than one half of the
money put into the enterprise, but we
understand the proposition Of the ma
jority of the trustees, as published, ie
satisfactory to the trustees of Bloomfield
Academy, upon the whole is not unresson
able, and we see no object In publishing
communications In opposition to thi.
proposed arrangement, at least while 1t /.
under consideration.
