of the postal clerks to raise money for the
purpose of obtaining the passage of the

was no regulation Of the department for
bidding clerks to contribute to such fund,
Although It was the policy OF the depart

seen by Mrs. Ward since.

Important Work at the Library.
Books Are Being ReoRtRIOgued In an
Up-to-Date system by Miss Annie Gray.

huOAA arc RNlhE heNhNHAokuNu M
Up-tO-Date System by Miss Annie Gray.
The general catalogues of the public Ii
brary being nearly exhausted, it is thought
to be favorable time for revising, re num-
bering the books, and getting the general
arrangement of the library upon a modern
basis, thus rendering the books more avail
able in all ways for patrons The system
now in use was an outgrowth of the old
Hinsdae Library association, unwieldly
and cumbersome, and in the last 90 years
there has been a great change in all de-
partments of library work. Now the man
agement of a library is a profession, and
ranks with that of the teacher, there are
training schools for this very purpose,
where are taught the best methods of ar
ranging and conducting libraries The com
mittee have been fortunate in securing the
services of Miss Annie Gray, who has been
for some time engaged in similar work in
the Harvard college library and likewise
in the Brookline, Mass, public library.
Miss Gray will make a complete new cata-
logue of all the books, REMEMBERING aud
arranging them after the modern methods.
She will likewise make a card catalogue
and whatever is needed to bring the Hins-
dale library up to the standard of other
public libraries as they exist today This
work will occupy a number of weeks, but
now seems to be fitting time, when new
catalogue is imperative, and we are sure
the town will not regret the outlay

The bids for the building of a new town
hall were opened last week Thursday.
Seven bids had been received by the com
mittee which ranged in price from 1874 GAG
to $50 ,770 All bids exceeded the appro-
priation and were returned to the senders.
1t is uncertain what course will now be
pursued, Ibut it is probable new bids will be
called for. The lowest of the bids received
would make the building when complete
about $4,000 in excess of funds available
for that purpose.
