One article in the warning for the an
nual village meeting ds:-"To sac II
the village will vote to appropriate any
thing for the rental OF a room for the II.
brary; and II so, how much?" In Section
sSS OF the state statutes, towns, cities and
Incorporated villages are given the right
to appropriate, for suitable buildings or
rooms for public library, or for found |
ing such library, sum not exceeding
% for each ratable poll. The village can,
At its annual meeting, vote certain sum

year to year. AS the appropriation OF
200 made by the town is for the purchase OF
books alone, II would seem necessary that
he village should contribute a sufficient
amount to cover the rental OF a desirable
.oom, and such an amount would not, bv
my means, be heavy burden for the cor
)oration to bear.
