Library Association, held on Monday
might last the president WaB instruct
ed to report through the Westminster
papers The condition of this important
work. and make an earnest appeal to
our citizens for increased support.
No enterprise has ever been carried
on so successfully on 80 small an
amount Of capital as the library. This
has been made possible By the Eener-
Gus self sacrifice OF the young gentle
men and ladies Rho haFe given their
time to keeping open the library on
each Monday aud Thursday evening
and Saturday afternoon. and the own
