$4,000 for Library.

Below is another letter in regard to
the erection of the new library building
in South Paris, very encouraging let
ter which all local readers of the Demo
crst will be glad to peruse:
Kansas City, Missouri.
September rs, 1920.
Mrs. Agnes L. Morton,
South Paris, Maine.
Ny dear Agnes:
On my return a short time ago found
your letter of the 18th, with the sketches
of the proposed Library Building.
While I presume Ii may be somewhat
improper for me to criticise an archi-
tect's ideas, yet my idea Ia that build
ing of this character and of this material
would be q very sombre building, and
while know that It 10 often considered
BY architects that libraries should have
q sombre appearance, with dim and
sacred light. yet / feel that IN
New England, and especially in South
Paris where there is so much gray from
the granite hills and the gray birches,
a building Of more warmth and life
would be more commendsble.
But / presume you do not care so
muCu luz NY OAHsiOioAhs - ySe Nv ~
learn what l am willing to do in the
matter, which is this:
II you will raise s45, 900, / will give
IS 900, making il $50, 1000. as think
it is necessary-ss judge you all feel
that you have q building Of sufficient
Importance to make it worth while, and
one that would cost less than SOC, 900 in
nv opinion would not be of sufficient
i'm portsnce to justify you In building.
In case you get the money subscribed
and desire to collect 1t, will pay In pro-
portion to the money you may collect
that is 10 per cent, 20 per cent, or the
whole of il, as long as It is in proportion
TO the amount the others pay.
lam very much in hopes that you will
be able to raise the money, and secure
the kind OF building that You wish.
With my kindest regards, i remain
Very sincerely yours,
Fl. r. HALL.
l am returning herewith Mr.. Gibbs
letter, as we'll as the sketches under sep
arste cover.

ANOTHER WATER
BACK BLOWS OUT
Wrecked Kitchen Stove an d
Nearly Resulted in Death of
Mrs. L. S. Gordon

Mrs. L. S. Gordon was painfully II
not seriously injured by an explosion
which wrecked the kitchen of the Gor-
don home on East Burgess st. Wednes-
day morning A small accumulation OF
water in the water-back of the kitchen
stove and frozen pipes caused the explo-
sion about 20 minutes after Mrs. Cor
don had started fire in the stove.
Mr.. Gordon himself had drained the
water tank when freezing weather came
on few nights ago and ANTICIPATED no
danger from the thing. But the accu-
mutation of a small quantity of water
in the water-back and in eighteen
inches of half inch iron pipe caused
an explosion Wednes sday morning. The
stove was completely wrecked, a WIN
dow of the kitchen blown out and Mrs
Gordon sustained numerous bruises ant
Iaceratiens. 1t was feared for time
that she was fatally injured. One o1
tbe Gordon's small children received
minor injuries.

COMPANY insists that it is trying to bor-
row money with which to carry out the
city's demands. The Sewerage Com
pany must at an early date assure the
city that it will comply with its iran
chise. or its franchise will be declared
forfeited and Elizabeth City will take
over the sewerage system.
The franchise under which the Sewe
rage Company operates very plainly ane
unqualiliedly stipulates that the com
pany shall lay sewers in every street
Only few of the city's streets haV'
been severed and the company has turn

GEORGE MARKHAM is one of EIiZ-
abeth City's live wires in the realty
business. His speciality is farm lands
and he probably knows farm properties
in northeastern North Carolina and Tide
water Virginia as well as any one man
could know them. MIR. Markham claims
the proud distinction of havin sold
more farm-Iands in the last three years
than all other reaI-estate agents in Eiiz-
abeth City combined. His total sales
in three years have involved 6y706 acres,
considerations amounting to $405, 5,725.00.
