noNT BLOCK THE WORK

City Council will add TO the wrath
being piled up against it in the public
mind IL It persists in its policy OF block
ing street and sewer and park improve
ments during the present year. Both
departments are sadly in need of the
money provided by the ordinance now
held up by the Law Committee, and
much work of Importance depends
upon councilmanic action in this be
half
When It came to putting through an
ordinance to cover up its own extraya-
gance and meet a deficiency due there
TO. City Council acted very promptly.
In fact. It borrowed and spent the
money before il put the ordinance
through providing for such loan.
But when II comes to providing money
for purposes more worthy It hesitates
and higgles and haggles until the peo-
pie are heartily tired of II.
While it is true that legal question
has arisen concerning the loans, We
do not believe that the city solicitor
will decide that all street. sewer anS
park work must stop until City Council
pays OF 100000 Of the public debt foi

Is good at contracting debts, but poo
at meeting them on a cash basis, whicl

The text OF which was printed in the

an addition Of 157 volumes 70 the H.

number OF volumes In the library and
its branches during the year was 3.20f

206, a gain Of AGA Cards are held by
5,622 school children. During the YEA
the total circulation was $3.50, a gair
OF 1891.
These are significant figures. They
show that the library Is appreciated
and also that it is performing a greai
work Of education and mental enter
