Council Demands
We Lose Library?
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.

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.
