FOR new LIBRARY
Board Recommends Building at
Cost Of 100000.
Needs Considered at Annual
Meeting of Library Board.

Topeka may have new city library
20 cost 100000 or 100000 on a site
facing the capitol square with an ap-
preparation for a larger number Of
new books each year, If plans of the
library board rnaterialize. At the an
nlia1 meeting of the library board Fri
day night, board members considezed
the pressing need for the new and
improved library and decided to take
Immediate action in the matter. G. b.
Merriam, II. T. Chase and Chester
woodward compose a committee to
make report to the board on plans
for the new building.
Favor Moving Library.
The board is unanimously in favor
ofe9noving the library from the state
house grounds, but would choose a
site facing the capitol square for the
new building, c. B. Merriam said to-
day.
1.-THE library building mars the cap
ite1 square," Merriam said. The
board hopes to secure a location fac
iffgsti1e square for a new building. but
in any event will not allow the library
to remain on the present site. il a
chance is possible.
I've must have a library in keeping
with such a city as Topeka" Merriam
said. THE present library is not ade-
quate and not worthy OF Topeka The
board feels THAT IL 1s time to 60 ahead
ana the committee expects to get in
action fnmediately-v
To Issue Bonds. 20
The new library would have to be
built by q bond issue. Merriam said IL
is probable that the library building
committee win appear before the city
commission IN a short time to learn
the attitude of the commission toward
the project.
Miss Caroline Medlicott, in her an
ruaT report before the board Friday,
stressed the need of the new building.
She said that the amount allowed the
library each year Is entirely inSuffi-
cient. The city appropriation for the
library Is not enough TO carry on the
work of the Institution. and was so
small that not dollar could be spent
from the city appropriation last year.
Circulated 96, Ola BOoBs.
In 1920 the city library Circulated
96,014 books. an increase of 10 per
cent over 1919, Miss Medlicotts report
showed. There are now 37,799 books
in the library.
Several bequests have given the city
library additional financial aid. From
the Jane c. Stormont fund, the Ann
z. Sheldon fund, the Harriet N. Null
vane fund. the John r. Mulvane mem
oFial fund. the Cora Pierson Hopkins
memorial fund and-the H. L. P. HILL
yer fund aggregate $15,65o for the
library. ,S5
Not Room for Patrons.
In addition to financial handicap
the library is confronted with the
problem of making room. for all it,
phtrons.g The reading room is not
large enough to accommodate ever
the high school pupils who come fol-
reference work.
In the board election. NJ. A. Low
was again chosen president, Joab Null
vane. vice-president and John E. Kirk
secretary and treasurer. A. A. GODDARD
and Joab Muivane, whose board terrnt
expire this year were recon1Hi ed
for re-appofrtment to the mayor, as
also was Roy L. Bone to succeed AL
bert T. Reid, who Is now in New York
City.

GAGE PRESENTS PROBLEM
City Commission Discusses Question of
,, Including 1t In City.

LHcIuSlues II III CITY,
Should Gage park be included with
in the city limits, as has been proposed,
the matter of where the money is
coming from to pay for needed inn
provements in the park and vicinity.
preseHts a grave problem to the city
commission In the opinion of some
of those interested, the expense should
be borne by the entire city as the
city as whole benefits, from the
park, and others think the only legal
way to carry the burden of the ex-
penses is thru the park department
fund.
Gage park is among the additions
proposed to be included within the
city limits and outlined in anew map
of the city completed by the city en-
gineer.
Among the irnprovem erts needed in
and near the park are sewer systems,
paving of the West Tenth avenue road,
paving of Gage boulevard, and new
rest rooms. with only $37, 900 allowed
annually for support Of the twenty two
city parks.
