TAX BOARD MAY
REJECT LIBRARY
OFFER FOR CITY
Cost of Sites May swell
Overburdened Budget
Beyond Bounds

Bridgeport may not get the two
branch libraries which the Carnegie
foundation has offered. Members Of
the board of superintendent are in
e1ined to froWn on increases for var
ious departments this year and the
request of the library board for $25,-
600 for sites for branch Hbraries,s
came in for considerable discussion at
the meeting last night. Judge A. B.
Beers appeared in place of the presi-
dent of the library board, Gen. Henry
"A. Bishop, to explain a number Of
items in the library board requisi-
ton.
Judge Beers SAID. said the Carnegie
strings attached to furnish two
branch library buildings. He said
the city If it accepted the offer must
agree to. equip and maintain the
buildings. One would be located on.
the East Side; the other in the West
END. He said the board also found
it necessary to ask for three tenths
of a mill tax this year instead of
one-quarter mill as formerly.
Where will you locate these sites
and how much will they cost ~ asked
Commissioner Boucher.
|. Judge Beers said no sites had been
selected and that as yet he could not
tell what the cost of sites would be-
He said that the sites ought to be
selected with a, view to the surround
the libraries served
How many cities of this size do
you know of asked Commi ssi oner
Kirk, that have three libraries 81
Judge Beers didn't know of any.
isn't it true, Judge Queried Com
missioner Loewith, that the plan is
now to consolidate the books in one
general library, for instance as has
recently been done in New York city !?
They have only one large library
there, I believe
mo, that isn't. the common prac-
1 tice now" returned the judge THE
| idea is that with branch libraries we
bring the books closer to the people
who use them. AS matter of fact
in New York as in Boston there is
not one big library, but several in
each city. We need a little larger
| tax this year because we are extend
ing our system. We have added
books which help workmen engaged
in our. manufactures. We have
of which workmen not only grow
/ more proficient in their employment
/ but with the knowledge acquired they
are able to increase their earning ca
pacity. Most of the men so benefit
/ ed could obtain this knowledge in no
other way and they receive it through
| the library at no expense to them
selves .
| The board then passed the matter

ing why his board wants $40 the
same appropriation it had last year.
The board passed this matter with

was not planned to reduce the salary

items of the requisition were gone
over without further comment and

of us are entirely free from the habit:

lieve that everything is wrong. 1 be-
lieve that alone have the right idea.
The town is wrong, the editor is
people are wrong, the things they do
are wrong and they are doing them
in the wrong way anyhow. The city
officials are incapable-don't blame it
on me, for l did not select them, as
never go to the primaries or polls. The
climate Of my town is the worst in
the world. / have not been to many
other towns, but know. There is no
place to go and nothing to do in this
town-it's a dead one. The people
Of this place are not sociable nor
friendly-I don't feel that way my
self, so l ought to know. sometimes
wonder why l don't get out and stay
out.-maybe it would be good thing
for the town. l believe l could fix

lieve that the town ought to grow. 1t
is too big now. Erecting new modern
buildings for stores and Offices is all
wrong, because the tenants Of the old
buildings vacate them and move into
the modern ones. It's the same way
with apartments and residences.

KNOCK THE KNOCKERS
Yes, there are times you ought to
knock
You ought to knock with glee,
Occasions when your fellow-men
With knocking will agree.
When some one gets his hammer out
To give his town knock and slam,
Get busy, it's up to you
Knock knocking all you can.
And take the knocker by the hand
And turn his face about;
If he persists, the pessimist,
Just make him cut it out
You'll find, in travelling through life,
This way the noblest plan
In ev'ry place, in ev'ry case,
Knock knocking all you can.

tirely unnecessary. American citizehs,
regardless of nativity, color, sex or
political utilization, will support the
President in every effort to maintain
the honor and dignity Of the United
States.
But that has absolutely nothing to
do with discussion of domestic af-
fairs. Because of split in the re-
publican party, the democrats were
lifted into power by minority vote
representing principles in which the
majority do not believe. This is a
government of, by and for the peo-
pie, and the people propose to have
their laws made and administered ac-
cording to their own desire. They
propose to discuss and expose the re-
suits of democratic rule. They pro-
pose to make war upon democratic
policies and they don't intend to wage
battle with stuffed clubs. This is a
fight by the people, for the people,
and against an incompetent, inefficient
pledge-breaking political aggregation
known as the democratic party.
The democrats took charge Of this
government when the country was
prosperous, when high standards Of
efficiency ruled in government SER
vice, when public money was being
spent economically, when there was a
surplus in the treasury, and when men
everywhere had employment at wages
that enabled them to pay their bills.
By the enactment of a democratic
tariff law, American industry was
paralyzed. By the overthrow Of the
merit system, the diplomatic service
and the administrative departments
were seriously impaired. A large sur
plus in the treasury was turned into
deficit. The cost Of living increas-
ed at the same time that the buying
power of the people was reduced. Such
is the manner in which public business
has been conducted. II these facts are
not to be shown to the American peo-
ple-h it is "lese majesty" to tell the
truth about the peoples business-if
we must close our eyes to government
