The Carnegie Library la worth to the inhabitants of tbis city and township SIB,OOO when established on lots 11 and 12. blook 7, by popular subscrip tion of $1,200 The subscribed books, $6,800, building SIO,OOO, being ten times the support by pity SI,OOO and township S2OO. Annual support is sure “When a site is provided and paid for.” The building will be erected, when “a suitable site is provided.” Nearly all the books are subscribed, and more than half the SI2OO is subscribed for said site. It is you duty to oonsider. where you live and where your land lies, the value of the library to you and each member of your family, the saving to you in taxation and your good will towards those less able to givo. The saving m taxation if the Carnegie gift is thus secured is one mill on the dollar in the city and one fifth as much in the township. If both sites and building are thus secured the saving is at least six mills in the city and more than one mill in the township. If you give now one mill on the dollar plus your looal, family and other special advantages it will be as fair as taxation. If you give more it can be known as an aid to those who are less able and willing to give. If you give less it must be known that you are asking alms either from want or greed. We will have a better library if the site is bought and paid for by the inhabitants of oity and township because tbis will show our gratitude for the building, for the merger of all libraries for a cessation of begging and from indefinite and unlimited taxation for all the future. Give not less than SI.OO nor more than SIOO.OO for the site. The Board has prepared a statement which you should proonre and study. wtf Committee.
