To this the mayor, in his address.
made the following response:
L have felt that the citizens, espec-
Tally the younger class, were not get
ting what they should from this valu-
able institution. AS l understand the
library is open now Wednesday after
Moons and Saturday afternoons and
evenings. My idea is that the build
ing should be open to the public every
afternoon and evening, especially be-
cause of the help it gives to the high
school students in looking up refer
ences with the proper books found
there. We are getting sufficient from
the several funds left for that purpose
to have plenty of up-to date literature.
also
A suggestion from Alderman Small
from ward was that representatives
from the woman's club or any citizen
interested come before the board be-
fore we appoint committee, and give
their ideas of joint committee of
ladies and gentlemen that would
serve for the betterment of the city
library.
