Holmes, also made a report for the time which she has held thut position. New books are Ui be bought In the near future and more magazine will be Installed In the library. The new building was the topic of general Intcrtat, and it waa de hied to have a supervisor ov ersee the work of the contractors, as the building Is In cour?e of constric tion. The work on the building has been entirely satisfactory to the board but the members felt that they should safeguard themselves from any error in the construction of the building. All the officers who served during the past year, with the exception of one, were reelected. The officers for the ensu ing year are as follows: J. E. Hedges, president; E. .0. Cauneld, vice presi dent; Mary H. U'Kjn, secretary; The Hank of Oregon City. Treasurer; exe cutive committee Miss Myrtle Bu chanan, Mrs. E. P. Carter, B. T. Mc Ilain. Charles Caufleld, E. K.

Mrs. Bertha Adams was elected as assist ant librarian. The annual report of the Association Is as follows Tbe securing of $12,5u0 from the Carnegie Library Fund for the erec tion of a building in Oregon City is tbe mast Important th'ng accomplish ed In the year just closed. For this accomplishment. Oregon City is deep ly Indebted to Mr. B. T. McBain. Mr. Mciiain spent much time and labor, not only in securing the building fund and submitting plans to the Library Board and Mr. Carnegie's secretary, but In securing a suitable site upon which to erect the building. Another step In advance was taken In putting a trained librarian in charge of the library. Miss Holmes' training and experience fit her to do such excellent work that our library may for efficiency be among the best, even though our funds do not permit us to spend a large amount for new books. A small library well adminis tered may do much more in an edu cational way than many hundreds of volumes poorly administered. The mimlier of association members has decreased slightly In - the past year, some of our former contributors feeling that they could no longer pay $12 a year as dues, though they are still interested in the work the library Is doing. e have remaining 22 mem bers with a monthly income of $31 from dues.
