same as the city now pays to operate
their plant, and is taken from the
books of the water works department.
Under this proposition the city city can
take on additional residential consum-
ers at absolutely no expense since their
rate is fixed for two years time. The
Traction Company estimates the cost
of the building, machinery, pumps, etc,
including erection and installation cost
to be $4,000. This plan, therefore,
guarantees to the city saving of 3d.
600 per year or $3.50 per month.
Under the second or alternative
proposition the city win pay the same
fixed charge per month and will be
billed monthly for the current consum-
ed by the motors operating the pumps
machinery, etc. The difference be-
tween the flat charge and the cost of
the current will then be credited to
the city's account until they shall have
a credit amounting to the cost of the
installation At that time the city
will be given title of the building, ma
chinery and pumps, and, from that
time, will be billed only for current
consumed Under the second propo-
sition the taxpayers will be given the
benefit of any saving in pumping cost
which might be effected by the stop
ping of leaks etc. At the present con-
sumption of water the Traction Com
pany estimates that the city will save
the cost Of the plant in from eighteen
months to two years time. This
means, after the plant has been paid
for, the city will save approximately
$500 per month in operating expenses
and will actually save more money
since the maintenance and repairs of
he old plant are bound to increase
with age.

will be followed here.
Mass Meeting.
In calling the mass meeting for the
organization of a permanent library
association all civic organizations,
churches, commercial clubs, fraternal
orders, schools and private citizens
will be invited and urged to be pres
ent to join in this movement which
will mean so much for Hattiesburg.
1t is hoped that the Commercial
Club will give the public library its
Endorsement at the next meeting and
that it will also contribute in some
way to the maintenance of a rest room
in connection with the reading room.
After the complete details of the
plans for the establishment OF the H.
brary have been adopted at the mass
meeting the work of securing books
and suitable quarters will be begun at
once. and pushed to a Speedy conclu-
SION.

OF TRACTION
CO. TO CITY COMMISSION

The proposition of the Hattiesburg
Traction Company to the city commits
sion of Hattiesburg to install a mod
ern pumping station at the water
works plant to take the place of the
present steam power system, has
aroused considerable interest among
the taxpayers on account of the claim
that the change would mean an annual
saving of about $4,000. The PROPOSE
ton, which is of interest to every tax
payer, is in detail substantially as fol-
lows:
The traction company agrees to
erect suitable building adjoining the
present pumping plant of the city of
Hattiesburg. In this building they will

a public library to be obta ned by q
whirl-wind campaign through an incor.
porated library association to be or
ganized within the next few days was
definitely decided upon by a small
meeting Of interested persons last
night at the rooms of the Commercial

The Minnesota Plan.

Mrs. Morrill, told of a very simple
but effective method of establishing a
public library which was followed in
| her own city, which is much smaller
than Hattiesburg. She stated that in
Chatfield ladies' auxiliary, composed
of members of all the churches and
/ the Commercial Club co-operated in
making the library a success. They
set up three reasons for wanting a IL
brary-educatio financial and com
munity uplift.
AS an educational factor the library
met the needs of the public schools
for a broader reading course in all
grades; as a financial factor, which is
rather unique in connection with pub
lie library it proved a rest room for
out-of-town shoppers, and since every
body within a radius of fifteen miles
who traded in the town was permitted
to use the library, it attracted many
people from the country and thereby
was a successful means of bringing
trade to the merchants; as factor
in the community uplift it placed lin
teresting books in the hands of the
boys and girls of the town and re-
duced the number of young people ac-
customed to loiter on the streets at
night.
With these three objects in view a
whirlwind campaign for the contribu-
lion of books was begun by the la
lies auxiliary and more than one thou.
sand volumes were secured within a
'ew days.
Postal cards were then sent to for
ner residents of the place requesting

luests LOO more books were added
