Draws On STATE ApproprIatIon.

The last state fair has deficit,
rather than balance, as was stated
at its close. At that time Secretary
r. w Rowlands said that the fair
would come through with a balance of
upward Of $4,000. Members were
elated, as owing to the bad weather
experienced they feared that the re
ceipts would not meet the expendi-
lures.
Now /, is found that instead of
meeting expenses the state fair board
will have to draw on the state appro-
priation which comes due in January
to pay bills still outstanding. o. H.
Rewey and A. w. Prehn, members of
the board, who were in Milwaukee, ad-
mitted that there was deficit and the
board would have to wait for the state
appropriation to meet the outstanding
bills.
Secretary Rowlands. it is stated by
members, admits that there is a de
felt in the treasury. Just how such a
mistake was made is not so easy to
discover. II is stated, however, that
the bills coming in were either over
looked or forgotten by the secretary
when he was making up his accounts
at the close of the fair.
1t is said now that the fair board
will begin preparation for the 1912
fair with not to exceed $4,000 in the
treasury, when it was expected that
the balance, after the state appropria-
ton was raid, would be over twice
that amount. This, it is said. may pos
sibly handicap the board in its work
of preparation for the next state fair,
but every effort will be made to min
Imize the effect as much as possible.

FREE LIBRARY
OPEN ON SUNDAY
Reading and Reference Rooms
Experiment to be Tried
Out for Six Months

Considerable interest has been
aroused over the recent an
nouncement from the Board of Man
ayers of the Free Library that plans
are under way for the opening of the
library on Sunday. An inquiry today
at the library revealed the fact that
next Sunday will be the first day OF
Sunday opening, and the librarian ia
now at work on regulations which viii
make the resources of the library as
fully available as possible with the
limited force I'm charge.
Owing TO the fact that only one at
,tendant will be on duty, the entire
circulation department will be closed,
and visitors admitted only to the
reading and reference room. This
does not mean that the books to which
the public may not be admitted can
not be used. A request to the at
tendant will bring to the hands OF
any reader any book that is in the
library The technical books most used
BY working men and boys are already
permanently shelved in the Reading
room, and can be used without re-
quest
No books will be lent to borrowers
II may be possible 10 lay a book aside
until Monday morning if a reader so
desires.
Tho main object of opening the
library on Sunday is to make 1t pos
sible for busy working men to get a
chance to use the books and maga-
zines which they are unable TO sec
