One of the most important questions ever sub mitted to the voters of Oregon City is that of a tax levy for the support of the public library. The ordinance is re ferred by the city council. The public library . everywhere has corao to be recognized not asa luxury, but as one of the. necessaries, of life. The reading : room opened here a year ago has served a goooy purpose In sup plying the public with the .best cur rent , literatuie- as wll as a cheerful place in which tv read.'-s.-;-4',.-.;vi-n Oregon City needs the reading room. It also needs In connection with it a circulating library. rhe only way that an Institution of this kind can be prop erly carried on is by public maintenance under the city's direction. What bene fits all the people should be paid for by all the people. If Oregon City is to keep abreast of other cities of her class she must have a public library. The Oregon City Library association has a good equipment of library furni ture and 700 books on the shelves. This Is a good start for a library. The tax Is Insignificant, v No Otner one thing would make the. town so attractive 'to the class of people, we want fos resi dents and neighbors. :. ., . - ' COURT DENIES MOTION IN .DRYD0CK CASE Presiding Judge Cleland in the circuit court today denied a motion for judg ment on the pleadings' for the plaintiff in the case of Albert Crowe against the city of Portland, in which Crowe seeks to enjoin the leasing of .the city drydpek.
