For a Public Library.

An agitation has been started for q
public library and reading room in this
city. There are now two libraries, one
maintained by the woman's club, but it
is not altogether free, there being q
charge Of one dollar per year The
other Is chiefly a reading room, main
tanned by the Young Peoples Local
Union. These are dependent upon
public donations. But there is a pro.
vision Of law by which a city of second
class upon petition of fifty resident tax
payers may vote upon the proposition
of levying not more than one mill for
furnishing and maintaining a public
library Such an institution is needed
in the city and the taxation would be
but little. If the city had spent more
money for such purposes and less in
voting bonds for private enterprises it
would have been much better for US.
AS it is we are pretty heavily taxed
and 1t would not be surprising if many
tax payers object to any further bur.
dens.

he had been exposed to measles and

All these cases are very mild. the
worst being Mr., Swilzer. The de-
sease, whatever 1t is, seems to be prev

one scarcely ever hears of a death.
Many think it is an epidemic brought
by the soldiers from Cuba which has

Munson had returned from Kansas
City, but did not state the object of
his visit there for want of space, and
knowing that the good news he had
brought back with him but would
keep until our next issue would
make its appearance,
We CLEAN from talking to Il e
superintendent the following facts
as to the Water Company and what
they propose to do fpr our city.
First they untiedi the hands Of
Mr. Munson as to expenditure in
getting a good supply of wholesome
water. 1t was for the purpose of
buying. water pipes and machinery
ts extend the plant, that Mr.. Nun
son visited to the city on the "kow,"
We learn from him that he pur-
chased two Car loads of piping and
fixtures and An up-to-date pump, and
will sink a series Of larger wells
some fifteen hundred yards higher
the branch from where the present
wells are sunk. and will concentrate
the 1ow Of water from all the wells
which will give supply of water
equal to all demandsi
Mr.. Munsou exhibited his draw
ings for the improvements, and he
says they have been submitted to
the best engineers and approved,
and he knows that hacan get water
and plenty of it where he is going to
drill for it.
We hope the most sanguine ex-
pectation of the superintendent will
be realized, and whentthe dry season
strikes our city again, the deep well
water of which we all complained
of last year will not have to be
drawn upon again.
