MONEY COLLECTED
FOR TOWN LIBRARY

Stevensville Feb. 25.-(Special)-The
Washington lunch given yesterday
afternoon in the library room at the
Gleason furniture store was a profit
able affair, the trustees of the library
reporting that over $40 was realized in
proceeds and contributions. The pro-
ceeds will go to the purchase of a
bookcase for the library.
Last fall the library building burned
to the ground. At the time of the fire
there was a limited amount of insur-
ance, upon the books and fixtures,
which were nearly total loss, and
since then the trustees have been
working overtime to get the library
once more on a suitable footing to
accommodate the public. The lunch
held yesterday only goes to show that
they are attaining their desires, and
that their efforts are being awarded
by a generous public.

w. II. Dennis. candidate for CITY

disapproval of the lack of system on
the part of the city officials in clear
ing the streets OF snow Sunday after
the big storm.
i had to wade through snow for
two and a half blocks Sunday morning
in order to reach the street car line.

later I discovered that the Clark
mill officials had sent n team with n
go -devil' down Third and Fourth
streets and over n few CT. rs streets,
clearing walks. That work should
have done by the city. not by private
individuals.
Now there arc several blocks of
snowy sidewalks out near the Willard
school. The children had to wade
through that snow this morning.
That isn't right.
"Thc city had six men working with
shovels downtown yesterday. If those
men had been turned loose with the
city's horses, now eating their heads
off in their stable. walks all over the
city could have been cleared. Prin-

Snowfall Is Heavy.
The heavy snow which started fall
ing Saturday continued until nearly
noon Sunday. More than foot OF
snow--the deepest fall this winter
lay on the level Sunday afternoon.
City shovelers cleared the bridge and
some crossings: private persons
worked on some walks later in the
day.
