Removal Dangerous AN EDITORIAL Shall Central Point abandon her public library? Shall we give up a si rvice which is of ueh value to so many peopl ■ and go back ward? These questions are of supreme importance at this time. Owing i,o the inability o ' the delit-rldden city to longer carry on this service as th-.-y' have been doing, this community is in danger of losing what has become one of the most important Institutions in the city. “ Something must be done!” Hut what? It is our suggestion that a meeting be called at once of all those interested in the wel fare of the community for the purpose of organizing a library sociation Then let the association assume the financial respsonsi- hility of the library and raise th>- necessary feuds, either by popu lar subscription or by giving sales, dinners, entertainments, etc. We must not allow our library to cease to function for want of about *300 a year, or $25 per month. It is our belief that this amount could easily he raised if wo all got busy. We a.k you to think this over. Remember our library serves a big district. An average of loun books a month are loaned out. school children and gmwr.-nps throng the place every day it is open and no one can istimate or even guess the value of the Influence of good hooks upon the lives of our young people. Let us hear from you at once. If no one else will do it, we shall call a meeting on our own responsibility in th*, near future. So le1 u. know your opinion at once. le t's go forward and not backward. 11 ■ i T Buildings in City At the regular meeting of the Icily council held Monday night, j much important business was tran sacted An ordinance was passed permitting the city to condemn any dangerous buildings within the city limits and compel their repair or re moval. It was reported that there are at present several such buildings which are a menace to adjacent pro perty anil have long passed beyond their usefulness. The matter o f library support was brought up and the council voted to make the February payment with the understanding that this was to he the last. It was argued that the city finances would not permit fut- ther carrying of this burden. At preaem the cost of the library to the city Is about $24 per month. On account of the had weather in January the spring clean-up had to be postponed, but with pleasant weather at hand It is hoped the work can be carried on at once. Arrange ments can be made to have all rub bish, sacked cans, etc hauled away free.
