HAVE TO WAIT, COUNTY JUDGE BUSHEY Contrary to the report in a morning newspaper that County Judge Bushcy was opposed to a county library, and i hat ho scorned tho idea because "95 percent of the books should never have been published," Judge Bushcy rather encouraged the plan, and only defer red action because- of the urgency just now of other matters. "We will need every ecnt 'we can get to apply on a road fund," Judgo Bushcy said Friday, "and it is for that reason primarily, that the county court remonstrated. It is true that I said that a number of books are unfit to read, but there can be no doubt about the .advirobility of a central plane where citizens can refer to bonks of actual benefit. But, for the time being, the city library will have to do, and the book kept in many of our Sa lem lodge, and organizations will have to bo used." . When Judge Bushey waa confronted Thursday by State Librarian Cornelia Marvin, who strongly urges the county library, he suggested that the matter be placed before the people through tho ballot at the next election.
