DELAY CONTRACT
ON LOCAL LIBRARY
All Bids Higher Than Available
Funds, Library Trustees Report

That no contract would be awarded
for the construction of the Ruth En-
low Memorial Library at the present
time, due to the high prices and lack
of sufficient funds, was announced
following meeting of the board of
library trustees last Wednesday af-
ternon.
F. E. Rathbun, board president,
said that three sealed bids had been
received for construction Of the Ii
brary building according to plans pre-
pared by Johannes and Murray, Sill
yer Spring architects. Griffith ard
Booth, Belington, w. Va, bid $75,
900; Meyer Brothers, Altoona, Pa,
$58,000; George f. Hazelwood com
pany, Cumberland, $45,52S. He said
the latter bid was later reduced to
$2S,915 after twenty-three omissions
and revisions had been made in the
original plans.
The contractors had explained that
these higher costs for new buildings
were necessary due to increased
prices for workmen and materials.
Since funds are not available, the
board failed to award a contract UNI
til plans are prepared for a structure
that would be within the money avail
able or until additional funds are
provided.
Mr.. Rathbun said only $16,89O 40
would be available for the actual
building when all collections are
made. A report made by the treasurer
showed $8,890.49 uneXpended in the
building fund and letter submitted
from Ephraim E. Enlow, Sebastopol,
California, in which the writer stated
that $4,000 additional would be pro-
vided by him if satisfactory plans can
be prepared and approved.
Mr.. Enlow already has contributed
$4,000 for the library which was to
be erected as a memorial to his daugh-
ter, Ruth Enlow Of the amount al
ready donated by Mr.. Enlow, $1,000
has been paid upon the purchase
price of the corner lot, Second and
Center streets.
The treasurer reported also that
there is balance of $3,595.62 as cash
on hand in the fund for operation Of
the library.
Members of the board discussed the
advisability of moving the library
from its present quarters to the first
floor of the CAVITY building, now
owned by the trustees, and furthes
study on this plan was agreed upon.
The board authorized the library
to be open on Thursdays during the
usual hours for the convenience of
patrons and requested that wider pub
licity be given to the regulation that
no charges be made for any service;
rendered by the library nor for any
books that are borrowed according to
the regulations.
Present at the meeting besides Mr.
Rathbun were Mrs. Goldie B. Bittle,
secretary and treasurer; Bernard |.
Gender, Sr., B. O. Aiken, Miss Nettia
Taylor, state supervisor of county and
institution libraries, division of IL
brary extension, Baltimore; and Mrs
