COLER THREATENS TRUsTErs
TO CUT OFF APPROPRIATION IF rREE ,,p.,

ARE CLOSED ON SUNDAYS
A rather lively dispute has arisen betv..n r.
troer Coler and the trustees OF the Free ~, ~"
lating Library over the avowed purpose q, =,
library trustees 10 close the libraries on suna.~
The trustees say that because their aIov,,''
from the city. has been cut from $1,000 when ,h.s
had a circulation of 100000 a year to Sa 800 ~
the circulation is now much more than that r.
will be obliged to economic. and think the 49,.
way 10 do so Is by Sunday closing
On the other hand. Mr.. Coler argues that IN,
the library gets large a sum annually from ~
city. without being in any way accountable /.
the city for the manner in which Il is spent m.
without even being obliged to furnish to the ct,
details Of such expenditure. the trustees are hou,i
in all fairness to economic In the matter Of mi.
aries and give as great return TO their readerv =,
can possibly be done. Mr.. Coler thinks the propo,,l
to shut the libraries on Sundays is unreasonsb,
and he said yesterday that IL the trustees DIR.
sisted In that purpose I'VE will cut of the appra.
pration altogether"
When Francis c. Huntington. secretary Of n,
library heard this, he said It might be possible IA
effect the necessary saving by closing the ubran..
in the morning during the summer months but IA
added that the question had net been decided yet
