ing.:: They went somewhat 4nto the his
tory of the ' association, told of thr
present situations and the requirements
" in view of he.,Jmme')e growth of
Portland. -
The contract with tba -city of Port
land expires this year and It Is proposed
to have tne legislature amend the law
so that the county may levy a sufficient
tax without calling upcn the city for
assistance. Xt la also ptoposed to deed
to the cdunty the building at Stark and
Seventh streets and have the law
: amended so that the county may levy
a mill t&y to erect a new and suit
able building. The county would con
trol the building and grounds with the
library aifeoclatlon and county commis
sioners acting as a board to direct op
eration of tha libraries.
The directors explained to the delega
tion that branches, particularly In tksll
wood, Alblna and other east side points
' were seriously needed. They declared
however, that a new central buildinp
was the greatest need Just as the main
line of a railroad was essential before
:, branches could - be built. : They think
the new central structure and posslblv
.' one branch on the east side should be
erected first and the others later. They
also plan branches in the rural districts
-of Aha county. .. ..." . .... t

large eastern cities, where the libraries
were erwted by ""cltbsens banded to
gether in., such organisations as the
Portland Library association, and not
by the municipalities or counties.
