matters concerning the library, yester-
day morning, State Librarian said that
there would be. this year, in the State
stipends, deficiency of about $11OO.
and that it will be necessary to make
the appropr;s ton for the stipend $4,000
per year for the next two years, in or
der to meet the increased appropria-
tons made by towns and the increas
number of libraries. The appropria-
tons for travelling libraries, also. will
have to be increased about $500 per
year, in order to meet the demands of
the oranges and the study clubs
throughout. the State, and the back
towns that patrOnize these libraries.
There is also large demand for trav-
cling libraries, from academies and
high schools.
Mr.. Carver said that in the matter of
the appropriation for the State library
no increase would be asked for with
the exception of an item of about 1850
for typewriting. Ii is unfortunate. he

library is in such a thriving and grow
ing condition. and that the only way
that the appropriation can be cut down
is by repeating the stipend law.

State library is barely sufficient to
keep complete the law portions of the
library. and the historical and scientific
works. 4 number of free public libra
ries have not received the stipend on
