THE COUNCIL DID TT.
Library Ordinance Passed and Taxes
Levied for Library Fund. -,

At the regular meeting OF the village
council last Monday evening the ques-
ton of establishing public library and
levying taxes for the maintenance of
same was taken up upon petition
therefor signed by forty-three inhabi-
tants of the village.
The matter was thoroughly consider
ed. Village Attorney Titus was present
and explained the law IN the case, and
Gen. E. M. Pope, to whom is due the
credit for setting this movement afoot,
gave his views IN reference to it. Hav-
Ing had experience with libraries in
other places his suggestions drove away
any doubts that might have existed 10
the minds of any as to the ultimate sue
cess of the undertaking. He expressed
confidence that a library, once es-
tablished, would te permanent and
growing institution. Placed upon a
legal footing, the help that the library
will undoubtedly receive from private
contributions and other sources will far
exceed the most that can be secured for
it by taxation, which at present is Inn
tied to about 500. The start will nec-
essarily be small. As Gen. Pope said,
the child must creep before it can walk.
Under the control of a carefully selected
board of directors, he could see no rea-
son to doubt that the library will pros
per and grow to be one of the proudest
institutions OF the village.
Evidently the council was we'll salts
fed of the merits of the proposition.
An ordinance for the establishment of
public library was passed by unani-
| nous vote of the council. II was voted
also to levy $3.50 taxes for the mainte-
nance of such library. The tax levy fol-
library purposes being limited to two
mills the amount will fall short of that
voted.
So the library is a 60. Gen. Pope
stated to the council that he would con.
tribute several volumes of useful and in'
teresting literature; Mr.. Titus off red tc
loan the library a number of volumes
public libraries may encourage the en-
terprise by contributing books OF whict
they have duplicates; the state and gov
ernmental departments cand be depend
ed upon for a liberal supply of usefu
publications; The travelling library o1
fifty volumes will soon be here, anc
there will be help from various Other
directions not here mentioned. There
fore, it is not "building castles in the
air. to say that the library will proba
bly, be prepared for very creditable
start before taxes for the fund are avail
able.
Its a good thing; push it along"
