The Dawson library is one OF only
seven city libraries in the state which
allow non-residents to borrow books
from the institution. An appropria-
ton recently asked Of the county COM
missioners by the trustees was re-
fused, but another effort will be made
to get the needed funds, in which
event the newest books could be had
at all times, while the building would
be kept in a much better condition.
A library is one of the best assets that
a city can boast, and it is hoped that
funds will be provided for maintaining
the library here in such manner as
BELTS an institution of this kind.
