Judge Bushey Says 95 Per

Heavy tar burdens in Marlon coun

of all books should 'never be pub

County Judge' Bushey against exten
sion) of. present . taxes to support , a
county library system. Theicounty
rommissioners yesterdays afternoon
heard ."arguments In favor of the
county library system. Miss Cornelia
Marvin, state librarian, outlined the
proposed; system furnishing figure
relative to the cost of . instituting
and maintaining such a library. The
plan proposed' was termed "The Full
County Library System" and provid
ed for, four libraries to maintained,
by the county. Miss Marvin estimat
ed that a tax of four-tenths of a mill
Would be sufficient. Action was in
definitely postponed.
Miss Marvin called attention to
the work; done, by the state library
In furnishing traveling libraries and
book mailing service to residents of
the atate and county. Wider dis
tribution, and Increased opportunity,
were ttye main -advantages claimed
for thej .new system. Miss Marvin
took' exception to the statement made
by Jud&e Buhev that only five per
cent i of the books : published are fit
for release and challenged the judge
to name some of the books he con
Flderedi good. The judge named
some. The Ftate librarian pointed
