The work that the Joint Citizens' Committee on National Representation is doing, a Nork at the head of which Mr. Noyes Mas stood in the forefront, as he has in every great civic movement in the District of Columbia, has widespread interest throughout untry.

THE EVENING LIBRARY BUDGET PLEASES TRUSTEES Appreciation of Plans for More Employes and Book Funds Expressed. The members of the board of trus- tees of the Public Library, of which Theodore W. Noyes is president, and the librarian, Dr. George F. Bowerman, today expressed satisfaction with the library appropriation items as reported | to the House in the District bill. Ap- preciation of the action of the subcom- mittee was voiced at the granting of an increase in library personnel, an en- larged fund for the purchase of books, as well as for the provision for the building for the Northeastern Branch Library. The library items in the appropriatior biil included an increase of $10.400 for | nine additional employes; an increase of $16,500 for the purchase of bool an increase of $1,000 for bookbindin an increase for maintenance of $1,350. and an item of $150,000 for the building and the furniture and equipment for the Northeastern branch library.

STAR, WASHINGTON. Simmons and Representatives Thatcher and Collins in particular brought out that the library, especially at the new Woodridge sub-branch, is short of books. Further quulionlng of Dr. Bowerman showed that book shortage had, because of steady increase in circulation at the main library and at every agency, be- come chronic throughout the library system. As a result, the committee vol- untarily made a substantial increase in the book fund. It is stated that the increases in the Iibrary staff will strengthen the central library and some of the branches and will also provide the force required to occupy temporarily additional quarters in some building in the municipal cen- ter. The central library is so badly overcrowded that it is proposed, pending the enlargement of the main library, to move the book acquisition and cata< loging departments and the book bind- ery to a building in the municipal cen- ter. Such a move would set free some space in the central building badly needed for serving the public. Site Purchased for Branch. The item of $150,000 for the North- eastern branch library is for the pur- pose of putting up & library building on the site already purchased on the corner of Maryland avenue and Sev- enth street northeast. The Northeastern branch library will be the first library building to be pro- vided for through an appropriation by Congress. ‘The central library building and the three existing major branch | buildings were all given by Andrew Carnegie or the Carnegie Corporation. Several years ago Dr. F. P. Keppel, president_of the Carnegle Corporation, notified the library trustees that, { lowing the earlier action of the cor- poration as applied to other cities, they would furnish no more money to Wash- ington for library building: See Etz and See Better” SHOULD NEVER BE STRAINED!
