HIGH SCHOOL is
IN NEED OF MORE
FIRE PROTECTION

The fire committee of the city
council reported to the council last
night that following an investigation
of the city schools they found the
Washington. Lincoln and Hawthorne
buildings to be in first class shape as
regards fire protection to the chill
dren.
AT the high school it was recon-
mended that the school board pro-
vide stationary fire ladders on both
east and west ends of the buildings,
extending from the porch or balcony
to the top Of the building 50 that the
firemen can ascend in case of fire. It
was further recommended that a
platform be constructed from the win,
dow in the third story to connect with
said ladder.
1t was suggested that the paints
and oils now stored under the stair
way in the basement be removed to
other quarters.
Joe Ell, chairman OF the fire com.
mittee stated that the proposed addi-
tional fire protection would not en-.
tail cost of more than SIPS or $3.50
The report was adopted by the coun-
Gil.

STURG|S MEMORIAL IS PLACED

A beautiful bronze plaque to the
factor and founder OF the Pendleton
public library now rests in the new
library building. The memento was
placed this morning and is the gift OF
number of former business friends
and associates.
A pretty coincidence in connection
is the fact that the plaque rests at the
end of the reading and reference room
in which most of the books purchased
by the Sturgis endowment fund are
shelved.
Mr.. Sturgis died december 2S: 1896
almost twenty years ago. At that
time he was cashier or the First Ma
tional Bank of Pendleton and was
one of the best and most favOrably
known men in the state. He is the
father of the Commercial association
here and was largely instrumental in
getting the present library under way.
Just before he was taken ill in 1895
he thought of several schemes OF
getting for Pendleton public library
and he subscribed a liberal amount
of money for the purchase of books,
He started a small library in connec-
tion with the old Commercial aSsocia-
ton. When he died. by the terms of
his will, he left $4,000 to a library
fund. This has increased until the
bequest is, now valued at $4,000
The plaque was designed by Folger
Johnson, architect of the building,
and is bordered with little rosettes.
The dimensions are four and a half
feet wide by two and a third feet
high. Portland has two such plaques
but the Sturgis memorial is said to
be much more beautiful than either
of these.
The inscription is as follows:
In memoriam, Samuel P. Sturgis,
1S56-1S96. founder ana generous ben.
efactor of the Pendleton public Ii
brary. Books, friendship and inspir-
alton are legacies forever remember
ed. Inscribed by his friends 1916"
The tablet arrived yesterday from
Portland and was placed above the
librarians office door.

NEW CRISIS NEAR IN FIGHT
OVER COUNTY LIBRARIANSHIP

With the first meeting Of the Ii.
brary board, since the two new ap-
pointments set for this evening, there
is considerable interest as to what ac-
tion will be taken in the controversy
which has been waged for months
over Miss Sabra L. Mason, county H.
brarian.
1t is generally supposed that the
opposition to Miss Mason will make
another attempt to secure her remov-
al and, inasmuch as the new appoin-
tees are credited with being in SYM
pathy with this opposition. such an
attempt would doubtless be success
full
AS counter the friends Of Miss
Mason are making an attempt to dis
solve the present board and place the
control Of the library in the hands Of
a board composed of the county court
and one member appointed by the city
council. A petition to this end has
been circulated among the council
men for the past few days by friends
Of Miss Mason and the signatures Of
Councilmen Murphy Folsom. Ell and
Vaughan have been secured, accord
ing to report. If they succeed in get
ting one more signature. thus giving
a majority Of the council, they will
present the petition to the county
court which is now in session.
This change OF control. il is gem
orally believed would be victory for
the friends Of the librarian as the two
members Of the court have been vot-
ing with the pro-Nason faction as ex-
offcio members Of the present board.
A question has been raised as to
whether a board comprising the mem
bers Of the court and one city appoin-
tee would be legal The present board
operates under a law which permits
the county to contract with the city,
and another law gives the court pow
er to govern a county library.
Members Of the opposition faction
also contend that the present board
cannot be dissolved except by a ma
jority vote Of the board itself. How
ever, II is said that the contract be-
tween the city and county could be
cancelled at the option of either.
Members Of the county court are
known to be dissatisfied with the
present arrangement inasmuch as II
practically puts the county library in
the hands of city appointees.
Some people profess to see in the
present controversy a danger that the
city library will be divorced from the
county library This would mean
that there would be two libraries in
Pendleton, one supported entirely by
the county and one by the city. The
county owns the new library build.
ing and the ground on which IT is To-
Gated, the site having been decided by
the city to the county. The county
is this year providing about $4,000
for maintenance fund and the city
$4,000.
II is asserted by some of those
working to abolish the present board
that they are not striving to keep Miss
Mason in office but merely to nut an
etfective end to the library quarrel
Ihey say that only through a new deal
may this be accomplished.
