Some of our citizens think that the
new Roessler public library should be
located on Main street where it will
readily be seen by strangers as it
will doubtless be somewhat imposing

block or two from Main street, where
visitors to the library would not be
annoyed by the noise and hustle of
business. This latter location is one
that is usually chosen in many cities.

site costing not less than $1,000. At
recent meeting of the council this
was provided for. Several sites have
been examined by the committee.
