Of the general plan. Last year was
spent principally in handling dirt and
building curbs, very necessary for q
start; but there is much more to be
done.
A library is an institution, which
II patronazed, will either deteriorate
or grow. Books wear out. Money
must be provided to replace them
but II there is not enough appropriat.
ed besides paying the current ex-
penses OF the library. improving the
building and replacing WORKOUT books
to purchase more books, the library
Will not keep pace with demands OF
the community. Each year must see
the number of volumes increased ma
terially, and the general council
should give heed to the requests OF
the librarian, who, IN turn. should
consider the ability of the city and
not ask for everything that is needed
in the way of new books.
The public library has not been re-
ceiving enough money each year up
to this time, and The Sun has been
compelled to rush into the fight to
prevent the small apportionment al.
lowed being cut down.
