CARD. The unfavora BILE vote upon the
question of the town library was due,
! partly, TO lack of appreciation for such
an institution, but primarily, we think, to
Misunderstanding of the proposition
offered. A gift of $1,000 cash to the town
from one family alone, and that that would
be more than doubled from other sources,
seemed beyond belief. 1t was thought that
| the McClary Brothers must have some
books to dispose of and the others inter-

wished to put burden upon the town.
Under such circumstances the result of the
town meeting was best. A town library
without the best of feeling toward it by
every section and every inhabitant of the
town would defeat its own purpose and of
course no one wishes to force good upon
others. Mr.. McClary and his brothers
certainly have the hearty thanks of all for
their offer and the deep regret of many that
the town did not see fit to accept it at this
present time. AS Mr.. McClary says, 1.-The
town is not yet ripe for library" How
ever, the strong support given and the lack
OF any bad element in the opposition fore
tell time not far distant when every person
in Albany shall say "God speed a town
library and Well help bring it,"
