The Kiwanis Club went on record
Friday as backing the city library
commission in its present difficulty
in securing funds to keep the library
open. The matter was presented by
Kiwanian Chas. AnsIey, and further
elucidated by Frank Harold, vis-

the club to support the commission
in its effort to have the city council
restore its previous 81 200 per year
appropriation, instead of 5000 pro
vided this year, he asserting that the
council was under contract with the
Carnegie Foundation to furnish $2,-
900 per year maintenance, that be-

city budget act made it unlawful for
the mayor and council to appropri-

WASHINGTON, April 2.-Rumors

brought an authoritative statement
from administration officials yester-

the fact that the Mountaineer crap
