LAFAYETTE LOUISIANA, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY. 49, 1906
LOCATION FOR SANITARlUM
Secured on st. Johns Street
A Modern Building will be
Built

The location of tie Sanitarium
was decided positively Saturday
by the purchase of a site on St.
John street near the Gladu home.
A lot having one hundred and
fifty feet front with six hundred
feet depth was secured, for
which three thousand dollars was
paid. No better place for the
Sanitarium could have been Sc
lected. 1t is sufficiently near the
center of the town to be con-
venient in every way and the
ground has the best of drainage,
insuring a perfectly dry yard
which can be made into COM
Portable lawn for the use of the
patients practically all the time.
In the rear is a handsome grove
which will afford grateful shade
during the hot days Of summer.
1t is the purpose of the AS
sOciation to build at once a mod
ern and complete sanitarium.
The plans have already been
and actual con-
struction will not be delayed
any longer than necessary.
The establishment of this san
itarium is going to be of great
advantage to the town and the
benefits that will accrue from it
will be appreciated more and
more as it's work is recognized.
Lafayette is well located for
such an institution and the in
dications are that it will be a fine
financial success.

POLICE JURY
Agrees to Come to Aid of Schools
by Making Additional Appro-
priati0n.

Friday afternoon an informal
conference took place at the
Court house between the Police
Jury and School Board at the
request of the latter, the purpose
being to arrange if possible for
more funds for the schools. The
matter was discussed thoroughly
and the fact presented to the
Jury that without further ap-
preparation from them that the
schools would have to be cut
down to six months term. The
Board asked for an additional
$4,000 which would enable them
to keep the schools open eight
and a half and possibly nine
months. The Jury showed them
selves ready and willing to give
the amount asked, and after
discussion, when it was shown
that an arrangement could be
made whereby the funds could
be given by the Jury, they
promptly agreed to pass a reso-
luton appropriating the money
at their meeting Thursday.
The action of the Jury was
eminently correct. A six
months term is something not
to be considered and the Jury
are to be highly commended for
having shown their regard for
the best interests of the people by
coming to the and of the schools.

ties to culture and refinement are

There can be no better invest

Twill settle among us, and those

Wide streets and side walks,

not all Of a city. They are es-

We could have a Carnegie
library here if we would 90
about it, and we would not have
to raise more than a thousand
dollars a year to have it. This
sum would represent a very
small additional levy upon tho
assessable property Of the city.
I'VE would get it all back and
more, too. Houses would rent
for more money. More houses
would have to be built to accom-

Pert inellt Remarks
On Public Library

Devils Lake has a public Ii
brary Of three thousand, five
hundred volumes. The ladies
of the Woman's Club, seven
years ago undertook the task of
providing a library for the citi-
zens of this city, and 50 well
have they succeeded that a very
good collection Of books has been
made.
During these seven years, or
most of that time, these public
spirited women have rented
rooms for this library, furnished
itwith light and heat, and paid
for the librarians services.
They charged only the small sum
of one dollar per card per year.
At present the library is open
Wednesday and Saturday after
Moons and evenings.
We mention the above facts,
not as a matter of news, for our
city readers are familiar with
them, but to remind them Of the
enterprise and devotion of this
band of public spirited women,
and to remind them also, that
the enterprise which these
women have so nobly establish
ed, should be fostered, protect
ed and enlarged.
We understand the Library
Association, for that is the new
name Of the concern, once offer
ed the city this library, free Of
incumbrance, as a gift, and that
it was declined with thanks.
We are not aware of the rea-.
sons for this declination, but we
do know that a city of this size,
age and wealth, makes itself con-
spicuous by not having a good
public library open every week
day in the year. A library is
one of the first things asked after
by the prospective citizen. He
judges instinctively If the city
by it's equipment for the cultiva-
ton and adornment of human
character. It's public library; it's
park; its public fountain; its
elm colonaded streets and aven-
ues; its school, churches, and IL.
terary clubs, not only give value
to corner lots and acres, but an
added value to every hour of the
city's life. Men of intelligence
and enterprise will pass by a.
city without these mental and
aesthetic necessities and go
where they may be found. They
will, if possible, give their fami-
lies the advantages of such nee
esslties of modern cultured So
ciety.
The writer does not assume a
dictatorial spirit. Far from it.
He only sees the city as the aver
age prospective citizen would
see it. He feels as the average
citizen feels about his wife and
children. And we can unequi-
vocally state that neither houses
nor land have half the value for
a home where all these requisi
