BLIND READERS FEW
Public Library Not Affected by New Post
al Regulations.

The public library Of Minneapolis is not
affected by the new law recently passed
allowing books for the blind free trans
portation, tho If any call should come for
the few books at the library 1t would be
promptly filled The library board feels
that there is little need to increase the
supply of such books While there is a state
institution with that particular function.
Prof. James ]. Dow Of the school for the
blind at Faribault, is in charge of large
circula ting library and he has been send
ing books all over the state to those who
would pay the transportation. Now that
TRANSPORTATION Is free he has made plans
to enlarge the library so that 1t can do
it's increased work.
There are in all probability not more
than fifty books for blind readers in the
city library and these have all been do
mated, most of them by Arthur Murray.
The library also takes monthly magazine
which deals with current literature and
current topics, yet not more than one OF
two persons have ever made us Of It.
AS even a small book costs So or 81
there seems little need for the 1ibrary's
making that feature of it's work while
a state institution meets the demand

! was accompanied with such marked
success that several years ago he was
placed in charge Of the whole South

The work in that large field has
continued to grow, reports Mr.. Clark.
The first general South American

eighty-five delegates being present
from eighteen leading cities. This

several smaller ones in connection
with church organizations.

LISTED YOUR AUTO?
The City Assessor Threatens High Tax on
Unlisted Machines.

All owners of automobiles who do not
make returns of their machines to the
city assessor by the end of this week will
be notified of an arbitrary assessment,
which will make their heads swim. City
Assessor c. j. Minor said this morning
that every machine in the city which Is
not returned to him by Saturday night
will be assessed at the full list price.
The board of equalizers will probably
have an easy time this year. The number
OF applications for reductions and abate-
lncnts is unusually small, and, as far as
is known, none of the large interests, such
as the lumbermen, the elevator men, flour
manufacturers, oil dealers and others, will
make any concerted opposition to the as
kessed valuation fixed by the assessor.
