WORN-OUT BOOKS PROVE NEED OF ADDITIONS AT Y Toy Shop" Musical Comedy Staged to Get Funds to Buy More Volumes for Juvenile Readers.
Scores of books, . frayed and worn, some of them minus the covers, all of them with . their pages black with thumb and finger marks, laying In the library of the boys' department of the Y. M. C. A. are mute evidence of the drastic need of a new supply of volumes At least two hundred more books are needed in the library because of tbe general use to which they are subjected and it is hoped the proceeds of the "Toy Shop," the musical comedy to be staged by local talent at the Gennett theatre on Friday and Saturday, .'December 3 and 4 for the benefit of 'the boys, will be sufficiently large to ! buy not only the books needed but ln- ' crease the summer camp funds. All Boys Welcome. The books are loaned to boys who are not members of the association as well as those having membership cards. . There are no charges for rental of books but because of the frequency with which they are read by the boys, only one book at a time is given to a reader and after two weeks the rules require the book to be returned. When more books are placed In the library, longer time will be given the boys for perusal of each book. A committee including N. C. Heironlmus of the Garfield school, J. J. Somervllle, head of the Boys' department of the Y. M. O. A. and others directly interested in the movement, will select the books to be purchased. Boys who read the books of the "Y" library re given credit In their studies for( the course covered. One Series Wanted. Of the books bought with the proceeds of the play, one series is especially recommended by the International committee. This is called "The World's Greatest Books," volumes
covering a wide range in literature, history, science and other subjects. During the month of November last 268 books were loaned to the boys. An Idea of the general use of the books can be obtained from the following list showing the number of books used during certain months: In 1914, October 247 books ; November, 329 ; December, 301; January. 323; February, 327; March. 318; in 1915, October, 250. and November, 268. During the summer months the books are not used by the boys.

TRUCK LINE PLANNED
Oxer & Bils, who own a big Overland truck which they now use in the city hauling freight, are contemplating a hack line between Richmond and Union City, and if assured of support by merchants they will do so, according to a statement made today by Lee Harlan, manager of the hack station.
City Attorney Bond advised members of the board of works and the city con
troller that none of them would be re
quired to pay interest on a bond of
$5,000 next year, notwithstanding de
mands of their bonding company. When these officials took office each was required to give a bond of $5,000, but the last legislature reduced their bonds to $1,000 each. Each had contracted to carry bond with a bonding company for four years and the company now insists that each official pay
a premium on a $5,000 bond instead of
a $1,000 bond next year.
"If the company persists in making
such a demand of you, surrender your bond and take out a new one with
some other company," the city attorney said.
