Sabin, a member of the executive board, pointed out with much force the growth of the East Side. "It will be found." said Mr. Sabin, "that a branch library on the East Side will be one of the most Important institutions that can be founded in that part of the city, and it will be well patronized. I am looking forward to the time when Portland will have more than 250,000 people, and a con siderable portion of these people will live on the East Side. The branch library will be located right in the heart of East Portland near the East Side High School and the business cen ter, Where It can be easily reached."

Announcement is made that the East Side Opera House is still a live project and that the architect is perfecting plans for the building.
