Securing Members For the LII
brarv League.

Members OF the Library League Com
mittee have been at work for some time
getting IN readiness to form the organi-
cation which will after July 18th, con-
duct the Frederick Free Library. The
plan was to have the Civic Club, which
managed the campaign for the establish
ment Of the institution, conduct the library
for the first three months, at the end of
which time il was to be turned over to a
separate and distinct body, which would
have entire control of the library.
The Library League will be an incor-
porated organization, and it is planned
and hoped to have fully 1000 members.
The Leage will have charge OF raising the
money for the support of the institution.
Until Frederick receives the library be
quests, which will be available in time, il
will cost at least $1,000 each year for the
maintenance of the library. Most of this
money will probably be raised by the
membership dues in the Library League,
while other money will likely be made
by entertainments, benefits. etc.
Membership in the League will cost
90 cents year. To be placed on the
Board of Patrons and Patronesses one
dollar a year or as much as the
person feels disposed to contribute will
be the fee charged. 1t is the belief of the
ladies' in charge that as many as I,ooc
members can be secured for the League
Persons in the county, as we'll as in the
city, will be asked to join as the library
is Tor the use of the entire county as well
as Frederick city.

Frederick Likely to be on the
Memorial Road.


If President Wilson's desire is followed
out, the proposed Lincoln Memorial
Highway, will pass through Frederick.
He has written a letter to Mr.. Henry
B. Joy, the President of the private asso-
citation which is pushing the project, to
this effect, and 1t is felt that the move
ment to Include Baltimore and Washing
ton, and incidentally Frederick, in the
official road, has taken considerable i'm
petus, and that Frederick stands an ex-
cellent chance of being located on the
Memorial Road.
President Wilson in his letter uses the
elective argument that the route which
he endorses will also serve to obliterate
the imaginary Mason and Dixon Line,
dividing the North and the South.
He points out that there is no divided
country any longer. The President sent
his letter acting upon the suggestion OF
the joint committees of the Baltimore
and Washington business men which
waited upon him recently in regard to
the change in the route which had been
proposed. The request was that the
head of the nation endorse the change OF
the route to include Baltimore and
Washington on its route from coast to
coast.
Another reason for the change in the
route is that the highway should be
made to pass the new Lincoln Memorial
now under construction in the Mall, in
Washington. The President pointed out
in his letter that no new roads would
have to be constructed to include the
Southern cities in the route, but that it
would be necessary only to designate Of.
ficialy the good roads already in exist
ence as part of the Lincoln Highway.

Flies are Increasing Very Rapidly.

The recent showers must have been a
great aid to the fly crop" and those
children who are now engaged in swat
ting the pests to get the reward of five
cents a pint, and to compete for the
prizes offered, have now good opportun-
ties. In addition to the money which is
to be awarded for the largest number of
flies killed during the two months, the
committee in charge Of the campaign
has offered two special prizes, one for
the boy and one tor the girl, who pre-.
sents the first pint OF dead flies to the
home of the chairman, No. 1903 West
Second street, this city. These prizes
are still to be won, and the children
should take time by the forelock, now
that the pests are increasing in numbers
so rapidly.

BOARD OF ALDERMEN.

After a year Of most rigid economy, to
which the members Of the Board OF Al
dermen pledged themselves upon taking
oath of office more than year ago, 1t
was announced Wednesday night at a
special meeting of the board TO consider
the annual statement of City Register b.
T. Nicodemus that the debt of the city
has been reduced in one year about sI6.-
600. Alderman Cutler declared that
when he entered the board he had pro-
posed that the debt would be cut at least
$4,000.
The board paid in notes and certih.
Gates of Indebtedness S35, l64.2S and
placed a temporary loan OF $4,000 and
sent S7.32I 10 the sinking fund. Last
year the liabilities exceed the assets by
SI34,o3s. Co. This year the liabilities have
been reduced by $2I. 3o2.oS.
In spite OF the protests OF Alderman
Phebus who declared that the Board was
s'eoing about it in the wrong way" the
Board of Aldermen took steps to collect
the g., 100 due the city in the term oil
Register NJ. A. McCaffrey. for taxes and
street paving, by instructing the Commit
tee on Claims and the City Attorney I'D.
ward Smith, to confer with MIR. McCat-
irey, and to make collections, il It was
necessary to sell the property at public
auction.
When this motion was put before the
Aldermen for action Alderman Phebus
protested and urged more time and 9th
er methods. He seemed to believe that
the city would get into complications II
the collection was forced. III you don't
collect these taxes. I'll never pay anoth.
er cent in taxes to the city," declared
Alderman Cutler as he emphasized his
remark by banging on the council table.
There were mods of approval rom the
members of the board, but still Alder
man Phebus was not convinced.
Not only does the action of the Board
mean that the street assessments and the
back taxes from the term OF Office OF
Civ Register McCaffrey will be collected
by the forced sale of the property. II nee
essary, but all other taxes and street as
sessments overdue and due. Alderman
Cutler SAYS the city wants the money and
there is no reason why the city shouldn'
get it.
The remaining untitled plank in the
platform of Mayor Lewis III. Fraley, that
of providing a police call system fol
Frederick, was brought up by the Mayor,
when he reported that a fIst rate system
could be installed in Frederick for less

was held over until the Board has exam
ined some plans and specifications from

the system. The members OF the BoaTC
asked that the plans be submitted.
