LIBRARY OPENING PROGRAM.
Exercises Appropriate to the Occasion
Are to be ARRANGED.

The new Houghton public library,
gift of Andrew Carnegie to the people
or Houghton and Portage township
VIII probably be opened to the public
about Jan. 10. Contractor Weber said
yesterday that the painting would be
completed today. The interior finish
Is now IN place and the only important
piece of work left undone is the placing
of the cork carpet on the main floor.
This will probably consume a week and
then will only remain the placing OF the
books.
The school board Is planning some
sort of an opening ceremony. The de-
tails of this have not been worked out
as yet but the program will probably
include an address by some prominent
local speaker, music and the dedication
OF the library to the uses of the people
Of the village and township.

STREET CARS COLD.
Patrons Of Woodward Pay-Enters
Make Complaint.

Some of the patrons of the Wood.
ward-ave. pay-enters, who were in
clined to complain against the new
tangled heaters with which many Of
the cars are equipped. the hot air be-
ing forced through tiny registers at
one side of the car, under the seats,
have ceased to complain since the real
winter weather set in. They find that
the heat which used to almost smoth-
er them comes in pretty handy these
frosty mornings, and the passenger
who gets a seat next to a register con-
siders himself lucky, provided the
electric blower that forces the heat
through the pipes Is not working too
hard
On other cars, not SO modernly
equipped, comfort Is In almost neg
ligible quantity, especially in the ear
ly morning hours. Passengers. after
waiting In the cold, step into car
to find that the temperature Is only
few degrees higher than on the
street and all they can do is to sit
still and shiver
It's downright outrage" said one
irate passenger on Woodward car,
Friday morning. They drive us In
here like cattle and then compel US to
sit here and freeze, while the cute lit.
tie pneumonia germ gets in its deadly
work. Oh, It's great to live in Detroit
and ride on pay-enter cars. II they'd
let a fellow stand on the platform,
where there Is chance to move
around and keep warm 1t wouldn't be
so bad
