ROOF NEEDS REPAIR


The roof of the public library is in
need of repairs. At least the num-
Der of cracks in the ceiling in all the
rooms seem to indicate the fact.
There is a crack in the plaster on the
ceiling in the south end of the chill
dren's room which is fully a yard in
width and nearly that distance in
length.
While this is the most noticeable
break, there are other sections of the
ceiling where the plaster seems ready
to break almost any time.
