Sir Thomas had every book chained to the shelves of the institution. No visitor, even though it be the king himself, was allowed to enter the building until the locka had been inspected and Thund”secure. On no pretense was any volume allowed to leave the premises. Books too small for chains were locked behind wire gratings. Seekers of knowledge could view the precious tomes and, like King James, go away expressing their admiration of Sir Thomas as a Jail keeper of the spirits of wisdom. But that was all they could do.

King James one day got up enough courage to suggest that it would be very nice if Sir Thomas would let him read a few of the books and even promised not to tell what was in them, but Sir Thomas, shocked, pained qpd grieved, reminded his majesty that to be a bookworm was an ambl tion unworthy of a king.

After the court had ffffUhed it« wi torations in the budget, a total of $770,084.10 was approved. The es- tlmated revenue is $125,284.10, which leaves $644,800 to be raised by taxa tion.
