VIII Elect Supervisors.

City Attorney Rufus B. Smith OF
Madison, rendered an opinion holding
that supervisors in cities of the second,
third and fourth classes do not hold
over under the law of two years ago
extending the terms of certain munic-
ipal officers. Attorney Smith fortifies
his position by citing number of de-
cisions, one being by Justice Dixon,
wherein it is held that supervisors do
not perform the functions of city off,
GERS, and hence cannot be considered
as such. In accordance with ATTORNEY
Smiths opinion, supervisors will be
elected in Madison this spring.

LIBRARY rs OPENED
Exercises Held on Mon
day Evening.
A Large Crowd in Attendance
OFT Makes Formal Presentation
The Mayor Accepts.

AS announced in the city papers of
last week the formal opening of the
public library occurred on Monday
evening. The room was crowded with
people and at o'clock, James w.
Moore, president of the board of educa.
tion introduced Prof. j. II. OFT of
Northwestern University, and presi-
dent of the library committee, who
made few appropriate remarks, form
ally presenting the library to the city.
In his remarks Prof. OFT gave brief
outline of the history of the movement
toward instituting the public library
in our city. In May of last year a
meeting was held at the home of M. j.
Woodard, when it was decided to hold
mass meeting in order to ascertain
the opinion of the citizens in general
on the question. Later, the mass
meeting was held and a committee of
twelve appointed to solicit funds for the
establishment of the library. This
committee was also assisted by COM
mitteeS of ladies and succeeded in rails
ing $4,000. In addition TO this the
city agreed to appropriate $3.50 an
nually to the support of the pro. ect,
and the movement became a success
with the result that this city now
possesses very good public library.
In closing his remarks Prof, OFT pre-
sented the library to the city in be-
half of the committee and the various
contributors to the fund.
President Moore then introduced
Mayor Brusenbach, who in a few chosen
words, accepted the valuable gift in
behalf of the city. At the conclusion
people were allowed to look about the
room at will.
Surprise has been expressed in many
quarters at different times that city
of 10000 inhabitants such as Wa
tertown. should have been with
out public library so many years.
However, there is a reason for this,
orally known. In the will of the late
John w. Cole provision was made
whereby the city is to come into
$4,000 for library purposes. Con-
sequently many of the citizens thought
it best to wait until this money was Sc
cured and then build large and suit
able structure. The need became so
great, however, that the move which
resulted in the present library was
started and the present institution
which will certainly be appreciated. is
the result. The move was helped in
every way possible by the state library
commission.
Many people may not realize fully.
just how much of a benefit a public
library is just now. but after it has be-
come fixture they will wonder how
they ever got along without it, The
present is simply the starting point for
the future and it will probably not be
long before Watertown will be graced
with a public library building of which
the citizens may feel proud.
The library is now open to the pub
lie every day in the week including
Sundays, and is under the supervision
of a competent librarian, Miss Mac
pherson. The room is open mornings
for reading. Books may be taken out
in the afternoon from until o'clock.
Evenings from to 9. No books will
be given out on Sundays but the room
will be open for reading from 2 until
6 o'clock in the afternoon.

On Saturday night of last week a
fire alarm was turned in from, the

the fi'e department to do when they
arrived on the scene.
