LIBRARY PROPOSITION
 PRESENTED

The proposition for a public library for the city of Seward was submitted by the Women's Club of Seward last night at the city council meeting. The proposition was presented in the fol lowing letter from Celia Robb Lucas, Secretary of the Club
 Gentlemen of the council For som" months past the Women'S club of Seward has been working upon the proposition of a public library for the town of Seward. To this end we hay" been collecting and have been promiS- ed several hundred volumes to be used as a nucleus around which to build. These books are available as soon as the founding of a library is an cstah liShed fact.
 It is useless to bring to the attCn- ton of an intelligent group of men the great need of such an institution in our town, not only for the general en- lightment and culture of our grow people, but as an aid to our public schools The value to the community of we'll selected books in free and easy circulation is obvious, particularly H' this time when the education of the public is the only means we have of offsetting the evils of Bolshcvil; pro paganda.
 Various schemes for financing Ii. braries as tried out in other communi- ties have been investigated and tn" the one presented below is considered best for use in Seward.
 Therefore the Women'S club of Scw ard does hereby petition that the conn cil of the Town of Seward give th" following earnest consideration and pass such ordinance as shall guaran tee the present and future support O. the Seward Public library in com formity with the following plan:--
 That the sum of $500 to be usHd for the maintenance of the Seward Public Library be included in the year ly expense budget of the Town Of Seward; that such steps be taken which will guarantee this sum yearly without recourse to further legal cn- actment; that the Mayor be empower ed to anpoint Board of Regents composed of both men and women, said board to govern the library and to disburse all funds, giving report to the City Council as stated inter valS; their term of office should bo three years, one member or more to bn retired each year, thus ensrTing that the majority of the Board of Rc cont; shall be experienced in library work.
 To the ab6'c proposition the Wo- mems Club of Seward pledge their loyal support and volunteer to aid the council and the Board of Regents in
