Every plan that ingenuity could devise
was adopted to accommodate the nearly
1000. 900 persons who in 1910 used the
library for reading and study.
They stood around like fans at n
movie shows waiting to seize the first
vacant chairs in the reading room. They
would have used the tables as seats
had they dared. Some brought their own
portable chairs. Dress suit cases were
carried. upended on the floor, and used
by eager students in lieu of chairs.

This city gets more for its money

than any other city in the United States.
Every other city, with few exceptions,
closes its free library anywhere from
one week to one month every year. Phil :
adelphia is one of the cities that never
shuts its doors to the public.
One is compelled to wonder what
Philadelphia expects for its money.
The Free Library is more than a IL
brary. It Is vast public institution

anNE Of the conspicuous items in
~ the EVENING PUBLIC LEDGER s
four years program for Philadelphia is
q new public library building. 1t is an
Imperative necessity.
There il $1,000. 900 available for
this purpose. The entire scheme has
been mapped and planned. The site oc-
cupies an entire city square bounded by
Nineteenth. Twentieth. Vine and Wood
streets. 1t will be completed within the
next few years. and though not the
largest will be the finest and most up
to date building Of its kind in the coun-
try.
Ii will be structure worthy of the
city which. as Benjamin Franklin ex-
pressed It in his autobiography, was
the mother Of all the North American
subscription libraries. Founded lSa
years ago. the Library Company OF
Philadelphia preserves its splendid or.
ganixation intact in its own home. at
Juniper and Locust streets. TO this
day.
II there is any one thing above an
other Of which Philadelphia should be
proud Il is its libraries. 1t holds within
its heart. in the building of the Frank
lin Institute. the largest and most com
pletc technical library in the world. 1t
contains $4,000 volumes, which are
consulted by scientists. manufacturers
and inventors from every land. 1t is
collection so perfect that complete pat
ent Office reports Of nearly every country
are on file. Those of England run
back to the year 1917.
In addition to the above there is the
Apprentices Library, that celebrates its
centennial this year. containing 2o.WO
volumes with a membership OF l5.Oo0
individuals. Then there is the great
Mercantile Library. The Free Library
of Philadelphia is TO be housed in the
great new structure on the Parkway.
II required nearly eighteen years of
effort before any concrete movement was
made looking to the erection Of this
building.

Library is their particular ward and

ROADS
FUEL SAVED BY GOOD ROADS
Wear and Tear on Trucks and Amount
Of Gasoline Consumed Shown In
Recent Ohio Test.

y test conducted In Ohio recently
to determine the saving In gasoline
from running over a good road as com.
pared with gas consumption over bad
and mcdium-grade roads, disclosed q
surprising difference. Five new army
standard "A" trucks with seven
different types Of road service, showed
u gain of six miles per gallon of fuel
between the best and worst types of
roads. All the trucks were empty dur
Ing the test.
The trucks loaded showed that the
poor road took seven times as much
gasoline per mile as the good one.
The test results showed an average
of j.7S miles per gallon over a dirt
road in good condition, 10 over fair
gravel, $50 over good gravel, about
the same over fair bltumlnous macad-
am and good brick roads, 11.4i over
extra smooth brick and Ills over good
concrete.
The saving to the motoring public
In gasoline alone would amount to
millions of dollars annually. Perhaps
equal to this would be the saving I'm
