The question of moving the Milton
Library has been set in motion by some
parties, who are trying to better its loca-
ion. This may be dOue, but we ques-
lion the motives of the parties who are,
interesting themselves in
its removal. 1t is said this movement
has been put on foot by some parties
who are not stockholders in the present
library, nor ever have been. 1t certainly
does not matter to the writer where the
library is located; but most assuredly
Firemen's Hall is not suitable place;
the reasons why need not be discussed
here. AS suggested by writer in the
"Milton Times" of last week, School
Hall would be an appropriate location
should the Library be removed But
why remove it,unless we enlarge it?
Surely its present sight is all that can be
desired. 1t is attended to by gentle
man, who is the paragon of politeness,
and charges nothing for his services.
Ladies can come to the Library at its
present location, and get what books
they may want without running the
gauntlet of gaping crowd, which many
ladies are extremely reticent to do. We
are requested to state authoritatively,
that this subject will be discussed at the
annual meeting of the Milton Library
Association, which will be held on the
second Friday evening of December.
Let all attend and express their views
