LIBRARY BOARD DECIDES ON
SWEEPING SALARY REDUC-
TI0N.
NOT ONE ESCAPED THE KNIFE.
JUDGE WILLIS TALKS TO YOUNG
DEMOCRATS ON DEMOCRACY
OF THE FATHERS.
SECOND VETO is THREATENED.
Mayor Said to BE Opposed to the
Asphalt ResOIution-Mill City
Affairs.

The library board has caught the eX-
pense curtailment fever which has from
time to time affected the different mu-
niciral bodies, and at yesterdays meet
ing action was taken which will cause
quite a reduction in the expense ac-
count of the board Naturally enough
the salary list was the expense item on
which the pruning kLife could best be
used. The question of finances has
been a serious one for some time, and
there has been some anxiety as to
whether the library funds would be
sufficient t0 meet the demand The
library board in common with the other
boards of the city has felt the fina ci l
strain of the times, and the directors
have devoted considerable of their time
In the last few months 70 a consid-
GRAFTON of the best means of protect
ing the treasury. The outcome was the
course taken yesterday and in conse-
quence saving of $500, representing
the total reduction in salaries, will be
realized The report adopted recon-
mended general reduction in the sal
aries OF employees, the most important
cut being recommended on the libra
rams salary. Librarian Hosmer's an
nual salary has been $4,000. 1t was re-
duced to 81, 50O
The assistants at branch libraries are
to remain, and their salaries are to be
the same as they now receive.
Librarian Hosmar stated that w. G.
Baker, director Of the old Athenaeum.
had proposed to loan the library a col
lection of valuable books, forty in num-
Der, of an antique pattern. The books
he said were printed in the fifteenth
century, and some of them were COIN
cident with the invention Of printing.
one of them was printed by Shaeffer,
one of the three inventors of printing.
Still another was distinguished with
the handwriting of Luther, and an
other had been annotated by Melanc-
thon. The proposition was accepted.
The books will be kept on the third
floor, in the directors room, and will
form a most valuable adjunct to the
library.
In his annual report for the month
DR.. Hosmer showed that the attendance
at the different library buildings and
the number of books taken out was
fully UP to the usual amount of in
terest taken by the reading public in
the institutions. The total of out
standing bills ordered paid was $1,000;
salary list, $4,000. There is a balance
in the treasury of $310.03.
The petition signed by numerous
property owners asking that a branch
library be established at Franklin and
Fourth avenues south was denied.
