will have to settle will be the So a
month rent on the ground which is
not owned by tho city,
The building has an excellent loca-
ton for the purpose, just east Of the

present have 6S2 volumes in their
collection and have $500 in cash. The

ton amount to over 500 and this
money will be invested in now books

ton is ready to open tho library at
once and will Immediately take pos
session Of the building The j. U. G.,
club has furnishings which will be
well adapted to the interior Of the
building so the problem Of equip.

It is not likely that the library
can be opened every day in the week
at present because the number Of
books hardly justifies the expense
and the association has not the means
at It's command, but IL will be kept
open enough to meet the needs Of
the patrons and the accommodations
will be increased as rapidly as funds
can be secured. Membership in tho
association gives the patron all the
