THE LIBRARY QUESTION.

The village election this year
will be of special Importance to
the citizens of Paw Paw. Not
from an administrative stand
point, for there is but one ticket
in the field and one vote will
elect it; but it is the vote of the
electors of this village on that
day that will decide the fate of
the library proposition for this
community, probably for all
time.
The possibility of a public
library for this village has been
discussed to some extent during
the past year or more. The pro-
ject was started first by Mrs.
Edward H. Harvey, who propos-
ed to give her magnificent
collection of books to a pelmar-
ent library in Paw Paw as a
memorial to her late husband.
More than that, Mrs. Harvey
proposes to donate her services
as librarian. So much for the
starter. Then the question of
a suitable home was given con-
sideration, and the Andrew Car
negie association induced to fur
mich $4,000 for the construction
of such a building. Next came
another one of Paw Paws gener,
Gus, public spirited women, Mrs.
William J. Sellick, who proposed
to give the sum Of $4,000 for
the purchase of a site, donate
her late husbands library and
the sum of $4,000 additional as
a memorial to the late Mr.. Sell
HEX. Nothing now remains to
make magnificent public
library an assured fact in Paw
Paw, but the vote of the people
which carries with it authority
to bond the village in the sum
of $4,000.
1t would be a waste of time
to discuss the merits of public
library, and the benefits to be
derived from such an institution
All of this is conceded by even
those who might oppose the
proposition for some real or
imagined reasons.
One of the most important
features to be remembered in
considering this question, is the
fact that it will provide a "Rest
Room" 1t is not generally
known, but is a fact neverthe-
les, that the laws Of the state
of Michigan require a "Rest
Room" in every village. Many
villages have not as yet complied
. with the provisions of this law;
but it is mandatory, and can be
enforced any time the state
authorities get ready to act. If
then, this village should be COM
PEELED to provide "Rest Room"
to meet the requirements of law,
the cost for that alone would at
least be as much as is now need
ed to secure this splendid library
building, equipped and furnished
complete, in addition to a more
complete and commodious Rest
Room" than would otherwise be
possible to secure.

an excuse for their opposition.
The assessed valuation Of the
village of Paw Paw is approx
imately $1,350,OOO. Bonds in
the sum of $4,000, which the
plan calls for, would if all raised
in one year, necessitate a tax of
q trifle over three mills or
approximately $500 tax to every
thousand dollars assessed valu-
alton of the village. If the pay
ment of these bonds was spread
over a period of five years Gas
it undoubtedly would be- the
library tax would amount to
approximately sixty cents on
each thousand dollars of assess
ed valuation. Certainly no man
who pays taxes could with any
sense of justice and propriety
object to SO small tax as his
part in securing such a valuable
institution for this community.
Mrs. Sellick, together with the
village council, has selected the
block on corner of South Kala-
maZOO and Paw Paw streets. as
a site for the building. The
grounds would extend from the
corner to the alley in the rear
of the Eaton and Mosier store,
and options have been secured
on all this property. The site
will cost $4,000 and it is thought
that the buildings on the proper
ty could be sold for enough to
make the site come within Mrs.
Sellick's donation. There would
be a fence of stone or steel
separating the grounds from the
alley, and the fence on the west
of the old court house grounds
would be torn away. The build
ing would face on Kalamazoo
street, with the "Rest Room" in
the basement. Broad walks
would approach the building
from the front, and extend
across to the court house side
walk on the east. The old rick
ETY. and unsightly buildings ad-
joining the alley would all be
cleared away and the grounds
and surroundings would all be in
keeping with the magnificence
of the library building. All this
which would have a monetary
value of not less than SIS, 900
and be a civic Improvement of
inestimable value is now within
reach of this community for the
small tax of sixty cents on each
thousand valuation for a period
of five years.
This is the first time in the
history of this village that a,
project of this nature has been
even possible, and should it be
turned down, will in all probable
ity be the last for years to come.
1t would be a shame and a pity,
not to accept the magnificent
gift of Mrs. E. H. Harvey; a
shame and pity to turn cold
shoulder on the generosity of
Mrs. William J. Sellick; q shame
and a pity to tell Mr.. Andrew ].
Carnegie that we do not want
his $4,000. We would be un-
mindful of the literary welfare
of the children of this and future
generations, If we declined to
take advantage of this opportun-
ity. We would lose sight of the
best interests of the commun-
ity from every progressive,
moral and uplifting standpoint
if we failed now to pave the way
for the elimination of the
library plans. If there is any
valid, legitimate reason for a
single person to vote against the
library, we would like to know
what it is. A public library
would be of supreme Importance
TO this generation, and its liter
airy advantages the pride and
