The City Government Has Bundle
Of Explanations to Make to Ladies of
Library Board; Commissioners Pass up
WaSOnyard Ordinance on Account of
The Absence of Mayor Freeman

the city commissioners will have to
do some explaining at the next
regular meeting.
The library board is composed Of
Mrs. II. II. sayre, Mrs Writ Frank
lin, Mrs. w. K. Burnitt, Mrs. Cox
and Mrs. Jones, librarian.
Mrs. sayer. as president OF the
board, explained at length the work
accomplished this year and their
dreams for the future; she said that
it was the ambition Of the board to
establish a reading room in the
business district. also one for the
negroes, and to do many other things
for the convenience Of the public,
The library is so remote from the
center Of the business district that
it is not used as much as 1t would
or should be. With reading room
established at some central point, 1t
would not only be a great help to
students who would consult refer
ence books, but to business men
and women as well.
In consulting the records It was
found that the fund belonging TO the
library was transferred to other funds
January eth
The wagon yard ordinance was up
again for further discussion, but no
action was taken in the matter az
the city attorney explained to the
commissioners and citizens present,
who are interested in the matter,
that he had informed the ladies Of the
civic club who are taking an ac-
tive part In the matter, that the or.
dinance would not come up for action
in the absence Of the mayor and
there were none OF the ladies' pres
ent.
j. A Bodovitz representing some
citizens who are interested in the
matter urged that it be disposed
Of in order to stop the agitation
now going on, which had reached the
ears Of many country people who
were under the impression that wag-
on CARDS had been abolished and
there would be no place for them
to put their teams should they drive
to Ardmore. He contended that this
fact alone should prompt quick action
and settle the wagon yard contro-
versy. The city physician stated that
he, together with John f. Easley, 8.
A. Apple and several other citizens
visited and inspected the yards Fri
day afternoon and 1t was urged that
no action be taken at this time.
City Attorney Mason stated that
he had received a communication from
the state health officer that was most
emphatic, and unless something was
done the state health officer would
come here and close the yards him
self. This idea was hooted by Mr..
Bodovitz, who intimated that he was
ready TO try conclusions with that Of
fetal whenever he saw 1T to come to
Ardmore and try to close the wagon
yards.

AT the regular meeting Of the
board OF city commissioners Friday
night, quite lot Of interest was dc.
veloped in special matters, aside from
regular routine business.
In the absence of Mayor Freeman,
Commissioner Fraley acted as mayor.
Commissioner Young was also absent
which left Commissioners Carter, Fra.
ley and Wilson to transact business.
The minutes of the past three
meetings were read and approved
and then the ladies Of the library
board being present, were invited to
state the nature of their business.
Mrs. II. II. Sayer, president Of the
board and Mrs. Writ Franklin, sec
retary, came forward and asked the
commissioners for relief in the mat
ter of funds for the library.
It appeared that the board of com.
missioners transferred the library
fund, with the exception of just
enough to pay expenses to other
funds Of the city without the knowl
edge of the library board. In the
mean time the library board had
contracted for books in the approx
mate sum Of $4,000, and part of them
are on the library shelves, with 9TH
ers on the way, and they now find
that they have no money with which
to pay.
Mrs. Sayre stated that In making the
purchase the board did so from a
house that hitherto had held Ardmore
on the black list on account of slow
pay, but that the board had persuad.
ed the management to reinstate
them and ship the books as ordered
They are now confronted with prop
ositlon that will require some frenz-
led financing to extricate themselves,
and the board feels that inasmuch as
It was deprived of its fund without
knowledge, the commissioners should
come forward and grant them relief.
Acting Mayor F'raley told the Ia
dies that Mayor Freeman would be
at his office Monday, and stated
that the matter had best be taken
up with him as he was the one
with whom they talked when the
subject of purchasing more books
was first broached.
The ladies of the board stated
that had they known their fund had
been transferred they would not
have made the contract for the books
but 1t was not until part OF the
books were in the city that they
found they had not dollar with
which to pay. Mrs. sayer slater
that she talked with the mayor upon
this subject and had no intimation
that such action had been taken. Act
ing upon the theory that they were
spending money which they had in
tho fund they purchased the books
FOR the library.
lust what action can be taken IN
the matter was not intimated by the
city attorney, but from the trend

when they might expect relief in the
matter Of repairing that thorough

up since last September.
The matter was referred to the

would be remedied as soon as pos
dble.
It developed that an ordinance had
been prepared by the city attorney
