$4,000 Library
Building Being
L considered Here

A proposal has been made by
members of the city council that
the city undertake the erection
of a $4,000 library building.
The project would depend on
whether the central library OF the
BIZ County Library District be To-
Gated here.
The Bi-County Library was
formed in the last election and
will give different cities in the
counties branch Libraries to be
served by the district. The law
provides for the levy Of a two
mill tax and the district would
pay in ZOO year for a central
building. Funds received from the
city through this source eventu-
ally would pay for the structure.
AS temporary quarters, the IL
bray might use the present L.
brary space with additional space
provided by rooms now being US
ed as council rooms. The city
clerks room win be given up
when the bank vacates quarters
in the city building. A new bank
building is under construction.
The finance committee was
delegated to negotiate contract
with district authority.

Snow Drifts
Battle Won
By County

The battle against snow drifts
had been settled last night, and
the county road crew, under the
guidance of district road supre-
visor Lou Keene, was the victor.
Catching ride with Keene as
he was on his way to the Horse
Heaven country to survey the
last stand of snow, a Courier
Reporter representative found
roads open. There remained drifts
so high and so close in along the
edges of the highways that one
could reach out the car window
and pick snowabll.
The last snowfall piled the
east and west roads with drifts,
especially where a fence ran
along the south side and where
grass grew high and thick. AT
times, Keene said, roads were
completely blocked but the drifts
gradually gave way to the pres.
sure and wide sweep of the snow
plows and road patrols.
Nov, we will go out and wild.

ed open and try to cut some o.

said.
! Some of the roads which hac
been closed by drifts and were
plowed open were Locust Grove

would be used wherever road
conditions warrant.
