railroad remaining in the streets
and Mr.. Wasser explained the
duties of the engineers in charge

and the state highway commits
sion would act on the report.
Mr.. Wasser further stated that
the engineers would make two
surveys thru the city, one along
Bridge street which is the main
street and another two blocks
south and the higher authorities
would determine which to ac-
cept. Mr.. Wasser further stated
that in his opinion a street rail.

be an asset for the city but in
explanation later said he did not
mean the horse car line in its

rail line not on grade with streets.

LIBRARY IN the
WAR MEMORIAL
Plan To That Effect Now
Being Examined
Into

The Marion County Public Libra
~ committee met last night in the
court mouse to consider ways and
emans FOR a new library here. Much
including reports from several COM
including reports form several COM
mittees, and after all counts were
in It was decided to hold meeting
next Monday evening at the court
house to decide definitely on the
big plan of building a Memorial
Hall in this county which shall also
house q library. The plan at pres
emit is to aid the American Legion
in building the Memorial Hall,
which shall have two wings. one for
the American Legion headquarters
and the other for the library. A
children'S reading room Is also
planned.
At present il is impossible to OBJ
tain more than the levy of one ana
one-hals cents on the hundred dol
lar property value for the mainte-
nance Of public library, and this,
it was felt, would only maintain the
hall once it was built Steps will
be taken to end0avor to amend leg
islation on this mater 50 that at
least FIVE cents on the hundred
dollars may BIO obtained. Further
more the plan now is TO solicit con-
tributions to the amount OF $780,
600, this suggestion made by Attor-
ney Harry Shaw, with which to
build the hall.
Mrs. N. R, C. Morrow was chair
man last evening and there were
representative from the Chamber
OF Commerce, Business Mems asso-
citation, Ktwanis club. Marion Coun.
ty Bar association, Heintzelman
Post. American Legion, and Library
association. The Heintzelman Post
will report at Its next meeting just
what this organization can do to-
ward getting funds for the build
Ing.
A committee reported last night
that the Carnegie association had
been consulted regarding library
and had replied that since the war
It was impossible to build more
Carnegie libraries on account Of
lack OF funds. Much enthusiasm
was expressed last envening and 1t
was felt that Marion county would
be glad to donate toward a Memo
rial Hall for the boys who fought
with the taxes obtained sufficient
to maintain this hall.
