TOWN BOARD There was a special meeting of the Town Board during the week, to discuss library affairs when Air A. Alilner was in. the chair. The secretary reported that he had received a subsidy of £8 10s from tne Education Department to be expended on new books. Th e balance sheet for the past year was read and showed a debit balance of £1 3s lid. The chairman said that this was most unfortunate as the deficiency had to be paid out of the Town Board's general account. After some discussion, the secretary was instructed to send circulars to the householders in an endeavour to stimulate public interest. In concluding the business of the evening Air Alilner said that unless the library received more support, the Board would be unable to carry on and the library and rest room would have to be closed.
