suited in constant and excessive losses.

That twenty-five cities Gncluding sew

preparations than Washington and
SIX have less. co That twenty
three cities have a higher per capita
expenditure for libraries than has

CD That the average cost per volume
circulated in these cities is IS cents
per volume. and that the cost in Wash
inston Of 10 cents per volume is ex-
ceeded by all but three Of the twenty
eight other cities. 90 That the per
capita home circulation of library
books in Washington is below the
average and is exceeded by twenty out
of twenty-eight other cities. The rea-
son for this is that the library has
never been able to extend its resources
to all the citizens of the District.

for guaranteed Weighing at high ca

It is recommended that such legisla-

spectors be salaried employees of the
District appointed by the Commission

can be guaranteed to the public, fees
