ny tue rlrc Dlstrlct taxpayers IN annual
meeting Is one for the support of the
Public Library. The size OF this approp-
ration has been increased from year to
year, but the increase has not been at all
In proportion to the fast growing needs
OF the Library. More money by several
hundreds OF dollars should be expended
annually In the Improvement OF this most
valuable department OF public intelli-
gence. The Library needs building up
and broadening out. 1t needs more and
better books. Books cost money, and In
this case must be purchased, IL at all, at
the exp, nse OF the Fire Corporation.
The books now on the shelves OF the
library have brought knowledge and
pleasure To hundreds of homes In the viii
lage. The librarians reports have shown
that the circulation OF clean and whole
some reading matter has been very free.
In most cases the call has been for vol
umes well calculated to improve the mem
tai condition OF the reader while afford
Ing him proper entertainment. Writers
OF fiction and travels have had more pa
irons than authors of heavier works, but
the books on scientific subjects have not
been allowed to acc umulate much dust.
Their pages have been eagerly scanned by
many young men preparing for profess
sional careers, by others engaged in the
study of mechanics, as well as by goodly
number OF both sexes having various av-
vocations.
IL the books now owned by the Fire
District have been OF service to the peo-
that as many more would prove equally
serviceable? The TRIBUNE thinks 1t IL,
and would advocate the purchase of as
many carefully selected new books as
possible. With the amount OF money
usually at the disposal OF the committee
on library but few books can be bought.
The incidental and repair accounts OF the
Library eat up greater portion OF the
funds and, therefore, the number of new
volumns added yearly Is comparatively y
small. Let the taxpayers increase the
amount and order the enlargement of the
institu ion, In the interest OF a wider
knowledge and better citizenship.
Few Hours Left.
The registry books for the year '93 will
close tonight. Those who have failed up
to this time to register and who neglect
to visit the Town Clerks office this even
ing will be without vote In the coming
year. An examinat ion OF the record dis
closes the fact that several men, presuma-
bly, Democrats, who registered one year
ago have not, thus far this year attended
to this most important matter. Why, no
one can tell. They have been notified time
after time by members OF the district
committees, and the TRIBUNE has kept up
an incessent agitation on the subject. II
they are deprived of the privilege OF vot-
Ing In 1893 they will have only themselves
To blame for IL. Men so careless about
their public duties are not good citizens
and should not be treated az such.
