SOUTH COVENTRY LIBRARY
Delayed Because Committee and Arohi.
tect Cannot Agree-Mrs. H. F. Dim.
ock Takes Sides With Architect.

Indications are that South Coventry
will not have a memorial library to
dedicate this summer. There is con-
siderable talk in the village over the
matter, and the people feel that it will
greatly lessen the success Of Old Home
week in August if the library cannot
be dedicated. The reason for the delay
in the erection of the building is the
flct that the Booth Dimock Memorial
library Euildihg committee and the ar
chitect cannot agree. The architect has
plans for a building that will cost
about $4,000, while the building COM
mittee does not want to spend more
than $4,000 for building. By spend
ing only $4,000 for a building there
would be a $4,000 fund, the income of
which would pay for the maintenance
of the building, and that way the VII
lage would not have to pay anything.
In the> meantime it is said that Mrs.
Henry F. Dimock widow of the donor
of the money for the library, stands
with the architect.
