MARSHUTZ LIBRARY
SCHEME LOOKS GOOD
CITY AMPLY ABLE TO OWN ITS
OWN BUILDING
Lummis Cordially Endorses Suggestion
and Dwells on Large Attendance
and Immense Stock of
Books on Hand

Los Angeles is big enough and rich
enough to build a magnificent public
library building and pay for it out of
the city's own funds without asking
for help from any eastern millionaire"
said Librarian Charles r. Lummis yes
terday.
DR.. Lummis had just completed his
schedule for moving the library to the
Hamburger building in way that will
give Los Angeles unique standing re-
garding the transaction of public IL
brary affairs in that it will be accom-
plished next week without closing the
institution. The next move, he hopes
will be into a building built especially
for the library and worthy of it's work.
"Mr. Marshutz of the library board
Of directors has worked out remark
able plan to enable us to get building
without a large levy" said DR.. Lunl-
mis- s'and we ought to work for a
building which we can be proud of. No
other city, unless Chicago be excepted,
has had SO many municipal problems
to cope with as has Los Angeles,
which, like Chicago, has found itself
born grown up and with a. mans job on
it's hands, I give Chicago credit for its
magnificent 100000 public library,
which it paid for by direct taxation.
In Los Angeles we can provide for
library structure without large levy.
Patronage Large
"Our patronage is now large enough
to warrant such a step, and 1t will be
a great source of pride to all OF us TO
be able to point out to eastern WIS.,
itors that the city has housed Its IL
brary adequately. Our service is now
furnished to an average of 1000 patrons
daily. We have $4,000 card members,
and what this means may be appreci-
ated IL you will remember that the
number of school children in the city is
$4,000.
1--WE begin moving to our new quar-
ters in the Hamburger building Mon
day. The general literature room will
be open for business at Eighth, Broad
way and Hill streets Tuesday morning.
The reference department will be there
Wednesday morning. and the fiction
and Juvenile departments will open IN
the new location Thursday. No depart
ment will be closed except while so
much of 1t as as is being moved Is
on the drays, and this interruption, OF
course, will only be during the day of
its removal. We expect to have the
library in full working order at the
new building during the coming week.
The roof garden and newspaper files
will follow later.
10000 Books
THE transfer includes about 10000
books and an equal bulk of files; and
the stacks, shelving, racks, tables.
desks and other furniture together
more than double the present facilities.
The present rooms are among the best
lighted and ventilated in America, but
the new ones win be even better and
far more spacious They will give us

THE THREE POPULAR MEN.
Medlicott. Hodgins and Thomas Lead
Republican County Ticket.

As usual. Stanley Medlicott, "Sad"
Hodgins and Dick Thomas led the
ticket in Shawnee county in the order
named. The popularity of this trio
was not affected by the strong Dem
ocratic opposition to any extent. In
fact. many voters who had scratched
their tickets. neglected to vote at all
on these offices, because they consid-
cred it a cinch. and tired of making
cross marks before they reached the
bottom of the column where the
names of these candidates were snug
ly punched adjacent to the margin of
the ballot.
They took place in the vote accord
ing to their acquaintance. Medlicott
in the course of a year, meets nearly
every taxpayer in the county, and his
pleasant manner wins friends for the
county treasurer. Hodgins meets ev-
cry man who has any business to
transact in reference to the recording
of deeds or transfers, and Thomas
meets only the people who have wit
ness fees, jurors fees or suits to file.
These ticket-leaders had made no
campaign for reelection, because they
were too busy with the duties of their
respective offices.
