: The trustees Of the Kcllogg-Hub
/ bard library at Montpelier find them
selves crippled for funds, and aftel
expanding all the available money il
I their hands they have unpaid bin
amounting to about $500. During
all the years since this library was
opened until about two years ago the
city has voted 5000 annually to aid in
maintaining the library, but for the
last two years this amount has been
refused at the annual city meeting.
Unless aid comes from some quarter
it is quite probable that the trustees
will be obliged to close the library
for time until available funds to
keep it running are provided.
