He had been IN Ill health and was
subject 10 fits of dependency. during

ANOTHER TOWN
GETS LIBRARY
Waynesboro Takes Advantage OF
State Library Law for
Public Library.

Announcement has come through DR..
Henry +. McIlwaine, State Librarian
that Waynesboro has just become the
third Virginia city to take advantage
G, the State public library Law, Nor
folk and Manassas having already
supplied themselves in this regard by
action of their City Councils. Accord
ing TO the report of the matter re-
ceived by DR.. McIlwaine from Waynes-
horo, the public library there has
grown out of the travelling library
furnished that town by the state
Library.
Under the terms of a bill fathered
by s s p. Patteson, passed by the
General Assembly of 1s99-1900, the
Council OF any Incorporated town shali
have the power TO levy a tax not ex-
ceeding l mill on the dollar annu-
ally for the purpose of maintaining a
public library Although the bill was
passed fourteen years ago, few VIZ
cinla towns have shown any desire to
take advantage OF 81. However.
through the medium Of the travelling
library, Dr.. McIlwaine has succeeded
in creating sentiment for public
libraries in various sections of the
state. and other towns are expected to
follow the example of Waynesboro-
The news was conveyed to the state
Librarian N the following letter:
Or H. p McIlwaine. Richmond, Va,
Dear Sir.-It gives me great pleasure
TO state that the Town Council OF
Waynesboro voted to take over and
sustain our public library according
TO the Virginia law.
'SThis action was taken, and the
Mayor has appointed board of direc-
tors. which has met and organized
'.An this has grown out Of the
travelling library we obtained from
the State Library in August
We are grateful to you for the
help and encouragement you have
given, and hope the seed you have
scwn will bear more fruit
Yours sincerely,
