Congressman Jenkins. Of Chippewa
Falls. Wis, viii introduce in the next
congress a bill permitting free public
libraries to send books. pamphlets,
newspapers and magazines free of post
age when addressed to persons who re-
ceive mail on any free rural delivery
route starting from the place where the
public library is located. The gove1 Il
ment assumes no responsibility with
reference to the safe delivery of these
books, but If returned through the mafl
they are subject to second-class post
age Mr.. Jenkins argues that inasmuch
as the public library is a free institu-
tion. supported By taxation in most
cases. the mail service ought to be
made available for the purpose OF dis
tributing books. as far as possible.
At first glance this might seem like

GOOD MUSIC ASSURED
Lake Harriet Understanding Arrived
at Last Night.

The Minneapolis public is practically as
sured OF a continuation OF good music
programs at Lake Harriet. The enter
tainment committee Of the park board and
Vice President Goodrich of the street rail-
way company came to an understanding
IN the matter last night, and it only
needs the Endorsement of the full board
The arrangement calls for a renewal for
i've years of the company's pavilion con-
tract and the payment by the board of
the profits of the boats, not to exceed
Sl,5OO year, during that time toward
the expenses of a summer season of music
equal in quality to that given by the
Banda Rosa the last two seasons.
The street railway company in return
for the pavilion privileges pays the rest
OF the expenses of the musical attractions
and deeds to the board all it's property
lying between the picnic grounds and
the company's right of way between the
lnterlachen bridge and the pavilion

parts of lots.
These lots are now occupied by several
unsightly structures, and have been the
rendezvous for divers forms of entertain
ment not at all edifying to the residents
thereabouts.
