Tn view Of the tentative plans for ' new library building in Berlin and the interest that Is being taken in The matter Of site and use of such building by the people of the village. Afss. John B. smith today made the following atatement:
 "A few months ago Miss Wilcox and myself having become joint own CTS Of the lot on the corner of worthington Ridge and Norton Road offered to give said lot to the Library association. For many years that par ticpiar lot has been talked of as the place for quiet organizations. leaving " it seems very suitable location.
 "However. after tho offer had been verbally made. and a meeting called to consider it's acceptance, the idea occurred to us and was suggested at Inc meeting, that it might he better to have tho library building on the land given last year for community purboseH, thus making one lot instead of two 10 bo cared for and adding the proceeds or tho corner lot to the building fund. This suggestion was somewhat discussed but no vote was taken, and second meeting was called to consider the matter. To that meeting I sent the following paper V as an explanation of tho donors ac. ton In the matter:
 'As half owner Of the lot on Worth ngton Tsidge and Norton Road. xladiy Joined with Miss Wilcox in the offer Of the lot for e new library. At the time of our offer there seemed lit- tle prospect Of any use being made of the land which was given last year for Community purposes. Now that there is a fair prospect of something worth while being done with that. and the old barn is being fitted up to serve the immediate need Of a community building. my own person al Judgment is that it would be bet ter to go ahead with that-.fctting tho library walt. much as it is needed. --untii conditions make building more possible. Then to raise sufficient money to put up a good building with committee rooms, etc, which would serve as library and as gathering plate for quiet organizations. leaving the remodeiied barn for dances. has. ketbalI, and such other activities as are not consistent with library. and Co have this building on the commun. itx land. Tn that case tho owners ot the corner lot would gladly sell and donate the proceeds for tho H. brarx fund"
 No vote was taken at that meet. ing. partly because it was said that wro action could he taken without s
