THE HANDLEY PUBLIC LIBRARY.
Winchester Would Like TO Have IT
at Once.

WINCHESTER, VA, September T.
(Special)-A movement Is on foot to Sc
cure for Winchester the Handiey public
library in the near future. instead OF
waiting twenty years. az Judge Hundley's
will provided. When Judge John Handley
died IN 1894 he made a direct bequest Of
$4,000 10 the city OF Winchester sor
library. This amount was to be Invested
in Virginia State bonds until he accu-
mulated interest and principal oqualled
100000 The money was 10 be used In
erecting the library. This would have
taken twenty years. Although five ys lrs
have elapsed since Judge Han1ley's
death. only about $1,000 has been re-
ceived from the estate.
IL is now proposed that the Board OF
Handley Trustees shall issue bonds TO the
extent OF the $4,000 and begin the cree
ton of the library at once.
The interest on these bonds could be
paid from the interest on the Virginia
State bonds
