H. Harris, Chairman of the War Memorial Library Committee: The writer was appointed chairman of The War Memorial Committee almost fourteen years ago, shortly after the War ended. Three thousand dollars have been raised by individual sub- scriptions, by annual donations of The Daughters of the Empire, by concerts, and entertainments. ] Public meetings were called, at the beginning, and it was agreed that it would be a much better plan to put the money into a many municipalities have erected. We can sympathize with our Council in their desire to save money, and keep down taxes. - This present proposal will not increase the taxes, but tend to diminish them. ; A Public Library is a legal institution, the same as highways, schools, Post Office, etc., and money is needed at once to put the present Library in condition fit to be used. - If a new building is erected the Council will get the benefit of the $3000.00 held by the committee. : ; : I may add that the moneys now on hand are trust funds given - SUNDERLAND Miss: Myrtle: Purvis, of Toronto, spent the week end with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Harry Purvis, i Miss Annie Gall and girl friend of Preston, spent last week with her aunt Mrs. H .Sonley. Mrs. Harold Clarke also Miss Beth Marchen, of Uxbridge, spent a few days with Mr. and Mrs. Hall, Miss Marjorie Cunnyworth, also Miss Doreen Bell, of Toronto are spending a couple of weeks with their cousin Miss Reta Gordon, Messrs. J. W, and R. L. Pinkham, of the Bank of Commerce staff, of Madoc and Brechin, also Miss Dorothy Bab- cock, of Lindsay, spent the week end with Mr. and Mrs. L. M. Pinkham. Miss C. Semple, of Toronto is visit- ing with her sister Mrs. (Dr.) Ross, Miss Calder of the Continuation School staff presided over the En- trance class in Sutton last week. The United Church Sunday School intend holding their annual picnic at Orillia on July 20th. Mr. H. J. McMullen of the Bank of Commerce staff, spent the week end with friends in Trenton and Belleville. The Library legally belongs to the Corporation. This helps to increase our annual grant from the Government for books and periodicals. If the building The Daughters of The Empire, the money could be raised by a mortgage but, being a municipal building, there is only one good | way to raise the money, and that by a debenture or a single grant If it were paid for by a single levy, it would require a levy of two mills onthe dollar, or a property assessment for a thousand dollars would pay $2.00. If the debentures were would requiré a levy of about 20c. on a thousand dollar property, with about .08c. interest. ; We beg to call your attention to the fact that the Library per- at Lindsay by Dr. Ross. forms a very valuable service to the Community. The schools are furnished with books of reference, supplementary reading, and, the Board have co-operated with the teachers in this respect. . ! It supplies over three hundred patrons with the best reading, and in the summer months many visitors make use of the Library, and this makes Port Perry a pleasanter place to come to. = - Almost sixteen years have passed since the war ended, and practically every place, and even small urban spots have their War Memorials. Port Perry should-not neglect carrying to com- pletion a memorial begun so long ago. : I would call your attention also to the amount of work supplied to Port Perry workmen, and the amount of Government grant that may be expected in that connection.
