The children be a free library. Why should" may deserve as much as the grown. peop e, `but is therevany reason why they should-"receive more? Then, we have a good library, `according to Mr; Hardy, the secretary of the On- tario Association of Libraries. It is amongst the first twenty-librariesi sin . the province.-,__ and -is `only ` _behind others in. the` matter of, maintenance. There is ayhaok property. arid a build- ing worth, altogether; `say $10,000.. above; "any .9. `very, good V asset` which . no` one `need hlesi-t_a`-ta. .139 ftake Two years ago the directors re- quested that a lavatory should be constructed and the Town Council provided one" at an- expense of "$125. Last year the Council also gave $25 for painting theibuilding. This year it was found advisable to provide a loose leaf encyclopaediav at a cost of about $100 for-12 volumes. -This was found necessary in " order to keep abreast in the matter of ency'elo d`ia., and the Board had tond a few citizens, to . subscribe toward` this, who would not miss. $8 each,` theprioe of a volume. Why should it be neces- saryto make a special collection` for every new" undertaking, when. the whole town gets the benet? ' Turning to the nancial side, he said the library_..had needed a revenue of about $700 a year for a numbeiaof years past. _ This sum is represented by a. quarter of a. mill on the dollar, because one. mill raises about $3,000 from the town s present assessment. On an assessment of $1,000, there- ,fore, this tax would mean only 25 cents a year which was but a trie. `On _a $2,000 home, 50 cents a year, . etc. The Public Libraries Act xes . an upper limit of half a mill on the dollar, which cannot be exceeded`. l "(Continued from page 3), `but aquestion. of their need of the ,library s benets---the value they set on knowledge and the vote they give will show their appreciation of this benet. The library is something the whole town can use, and not, `alone, some particular class of peo- ple. It is non`-sectarian, an_d nobody has any axe to grind in advocating a change, but rather` the extension of a public benet. . 'TO MAKE LIBRARY T FREE INSTITUTION .

The half-yearly nancial `state- ment for the Dominion which has been issued shows that Canada s n- vances were never so prosperous as under the guiding hand Olf Hon. W. T. White. A careful and progressive policy is. being followed. A striking feature `of the statement is the de- crease in Canada s `debt `by ten million dollars as compared with a year ago._ The revenues for the six months from March 31 to Sept. 30, amounted to $81,378,650. This` is an . increase of $17,309,126 over the same _ period in 1911. The increase` is at "the rate of 27 per cent. Itis ex-. pected that the ' revenue for the year ewill reach the record-breaking total ` of $170,000,000 if the present rate of 7 increase is maintained. The yield obtain- ed frome cotrrespondenfs at the end of September oniirm generally the previous estimates for most of the crops,` but `inasmuch as very little threshing had been possible and large areas of grain were still unharvested, it is feared that the nal estimates, after completion of . the threshing, may. turn out lower than V the gures now given.
