LIBRARY RECORDS
show BIG INCREASE
Circulation at Bismarck Public
Library Increases II ,459
During Nine Months

Continuous increase in the number
Of books loaned by the Bismarck pub
lie library, during every month since
last June, is evident from figures
compiled recently by the library staff,
showing the amount of circulation in
contrast to that for the same month
during the preceding year.
Up to the first of last month, the
amount Of increase totaled II, 459, with
1923 of this number represented by
children'S books and the remainder,
or 1881 adult books.
When the fact that last year the
library had the biggest circulation in
its history is taken into consideration.
it is possible to estimate the volume
Of business handled by the library
workers in a twelve-month period.
Indications so far this year are that
last years record will be exceeded.
Circulation figures for the last two
years show that for the year ending
June 30. 1890, 54,950 books were
loaned, while in 1891 the number was
&c, 442, or an increase of 1892. The
AAuAAAbCA Va hOOho AL NASuAotAOAl ~ OAAA
June 30, 1881. to April l, 1882. was
81 ,345, or an increase of II ,459, during
the nine-month period.
Additional use of the library has
necessitated the enlargement of the
circulation desk and soon will require
extra chairs in the reading room, Miss
Ruth King, librarian said. The chill
drens room was refinished and addi-
tional furnishings added early in the
fall and this has added greatly to
the convenience and comfort of the
room. she said.
Below Is list of the books recently
placed in circulation at the library:
Alexander, Once a Grand Duke;
Allen, Only Yesterday; Boleslavski,
Way Of Lancer; Bynum, Audacious
Fool; Won Bulow, Memoirs Of Prince

TO INITIATED BILL
Object to Measure Reducing
Property Valuations; Rap
Bidding For Jobs

Resolutions opposing proposed
initiative measure to reduce valua
ton of property for taxation pur'
poses, and condemning school dis.
tricts which are filling teaching posi-.
tons by calling for bids were adopt
ed here Sunday at meeting of the
executive committee Of the North
Dakota State Federation Of Labor.
N. H. Hinkle. Fargo, president OF
the state federation, Lawrence J
Nero, Grand Forks. sec-etary-treas-
urer, and Russell A. Young, Bismarck
vice president. who compose the exc
cutive committee, approved the re-
solutions.
The resolution expressing disfavor
with the system of letting teaching
positions to the lowest bidders re-
ferred to the action Of the Grass
Lake school board in Burleigl coun-
ty. The district let teaching con-
tracts recently TO low bidders.
Such procedure" the resolution
said, lis unsound. unethical and like
ly to work harm to the entire public
school system
Reasons outlined for condemning
the plan were given in the resolution
as follows:
That it is radical and unnecessary;
that under such system the teach
er's qualifications are apt to become
a secondary consideration: tn a t
North Dakota ranks 18th in salaries
paid to teachers, and a lower rating
of the state will result "if method
prevails that bases cultural attain
ment on par with exchange OF mer-
chandise'
The resolution opposing the meas
ure sponsored ey the North Dakota
Taxpayers association to reduce the
basis of assessment of property from
Is to so per cent of the full value
states that II enacted such a meas
ure would automatically discontinue
many of the schools of our state,
greatly injure the efficiency OF many
others. and bring irreparable loss in
the education Of our young people
The bill the resolution continues,
will automatically take from the
people of district who desire to
maintain an efficient school for their
children. the right to say whether or
not they shall maintain such a
school, and would throw an in
equitable and unjust proportion of
the tax reduction upon the schools.
and in that way place the loss upon
the young people and the teachers
who serve in the schools"
The resolution calls on the men,
bers of organized labor, with other
voters Of the state, to make every
effort possible to defeat this measure
at the coming election
The assessment proposal is one Of
five which the taxpayers association
is sponsoring. and is to come TO a
vote at the June % state primary
election.

The Waterbury Democrat., 1932-11-01

The committee on schoolhouses, at the board of education meeting yesterday, recommended that the controller be requested to have all school buildings appraised to bring them down to the present cost of replacements, so that the insur- ance carried on the buildings may be materially decreased, but the matter was tabled until the next meeting, November IA, due to the opposition of Commissioners Flor ence B. Webster.
 Commissioner Webster believed that 1t was not, essential to spend any money for such an appraisal and that 1t could be realized by the schoolhouse committee by de- ducting proper amounts for de- preciation from the last appraisal. She stated that she had investi- gated the matter since the last meeting and was led to believe by insurance agents that 1t Is unnec- essary to hire appraisers.
 The commissioner stated that the current time Is the time for economy and unless she can be shown in writing that 1t Is neces. sary to hire appraisers, she would not alter her decision. Chairman John J. walsh informed the board that insurance had been reduced in recent years and that he nad made a survey of some of the ] buildings, such as Crosby since
