as 96. The income of the current
wear will be about $4,000 more. Here
then we have ample funds with which
10 establish an independent library at
this end of the city, and not compel
peoul,, here to travel nearly three
miles To get book when they want

within Il week. and Mr.. Mason is away
visiting and his furniture ana goods
stored in the house are being destroyed
by water aud chemicals. The saving
machine should be moved TO SAFER
lacal!tv. The department has DN
making quick time and hard worn
saved the building twice, but 1t ma.
not be able to save it next time.
