PETITION WAS REJECTED.

school BOARD Acted Upon the Library
Quxstfon-Couid Not Use the Funds.
At special nesting Of the board OF
education for the Martinsburg dis
trict. the question of the petition from
the officers OF the Martinsburg public
library was brought up for discussion
and definitely disposed of by the MEM
bers OF the board refusing to grant the
request for an appropriation.
As is well known the officers of the
library have been agitating the ques-
tion OF AN appropriation of 5000 a year
from the county court. the city conn
Gil. and the board Of education, for
the purpose of furnishing an adequate
revenue for the support OF the institu-
ton. Petitions asking these three
bodies to share equally in the burden
were circulated among the Taxpayers
and citizens generally of the city and
county, and were signed by hundreds
of people.
The members Of the board of edu
cation deferred definite action until
thew could settle the question of the
legality of the appropriation asked.
The mem beIs did not act hastily, but
after going over the situation careful
ly came to the conclusion that they
had no authority under the school
law to appi opriate the money.
Mr.. A. L. Russler, president of the
board, in conversation with repre-
sentative of The Evening World,
stated that while the members were
personally in sympathy with the
movement to place the puclic library
upon more permanent basis, t:s4v
did not see their way clear to make
an appropriation from the funds un-
der their control The school law
specifically stipulates how the funds
are to no used. giving the members OF
the boards of education some discre-
ton in the matter. but they could find
no warrant for such action as WAS re-
quested bv the officers of the library
