ance societies, but no library that
could be said to take the place Of a
free public library. President
Whitaker Of the A. H. society aI-
pointed committee to take the
matter in hand and go ahead with
the work.
THE SOCIETY LIBRARY
consists of about five hundred vol
umes. The members of the society
can swell this list by nearly as many
more. Several citizens have already
siguified a willingness to back the
enterprise by liberal subscriptions
and donations Of books. A fund
will have to be raised to pay the
rent and care of library until a
suitable building can be built.
CONGRESSIONAL AID
can be secured under an act that
requires all publications of the de-
partments to be sent to free public
libraries organized under certain
provisions. AT the meeting of the
Aka Hesperian society this evening
the matter will be further discussed.
