Just| COMMUNICATED A TRIBUTE TO DR, BRAY The New Britain Herald, New Britaln, Conn, Gentlemen:— Out of respect to Dr. Henry T. Bray, I feel Impelled to pay a tribute to his memory. I was assoclated with him on the Draft Board and learned to know him well. He gave himself in that work to the #jmit. It mattered not that he might be up all night car- ing for the sick, we could count on him in the board meetings day after day with unfailing energy and cheer- fulness. His capaclty for work seem- ed to be unlimited. I feel a great personal loss in his passing, and that our city has lost a citizen who in his many services ful- filled his obligation to the common good of a community, Yours very truly, A. F. Corbin, COMMUNICATED To the Editor of the New Britain Herald: Your editorial on our public li- brary in the Herald of last Friday, December 4, states that “if it were necessary for this city to add to the Iibrary appropristion of $30,- 000 a year there probably would be no objections considering the great value ot the library to citi- zons, generally.” Without doubt many New Brit- ain citizens appreciate their public library but the public in general probably does not realize the de- mands upon or the possibilities of the Institute, Will you kindly allow me space to explain briefly some of the library's present nceds? First of all, there is no room for expansion in the present building. We are crowded in the children’s and in the book stack, Closing the library station In the Kast Street hool has put an added straln on e capacity of the main bullding. s Griswold’s figures show that st street circulation of ju- venile books, though the room was open only three times a week, was about one-third of the total in the children’s room here. We need a room in which to dis- play business and technical books with a trained person in charge to make them available to the in- creasing number of men and boys We need a place for teachers and adult students where they do not disturb and are not disturbed by the general reference patrons. We need a room in which to pre- | pare the school collections. At ! present that work has to be done in the basement of the stack which is not only inadequate but obliges | ug to dispose of magazines which | should be filed there for reference. The problem of expansion is more pressing every day. Where shall we put the children? There are 8,000 Juvenile card-holders now and at the most we have only five attend- ants to handle the crowd of young- sters that constitute a small mob after schools close in the afternoon. Where and how shall we serve the growing numbers of working men information business, 1r: or Where shall put themsclves? Twenty-five years ago when the Institute (formerly a subscription library) became a frce public li- brary receiving an appropriation from the city it committed itself to the task of carrying on with modern methods, which means that instead of oxisting as a privilege ahout their profession? be the books Wige, Hmith £, Hartford’s Largest Sale of 5,000 TIM’S CAPS The Perfect Knitted Cap for Boys and Men 0f 100% Pu EACH CAP IN A Mild Weather Muffler Buttoned Around Cap $l 50 For Boys and Children l_ re Worsted HANDSOME BOX Cold & Stormy Weather, Mufller Buttoned Around Necly $1 °6 For Men Boys' Department—Main Floor Main and Phone Orders Filled e ——— larger public of all citizens. The motto in our entrance hall is, “The true university of thesc days is a collection of books." But | in order to complete the university | we must have an adequate number of intelligent workers to put the right books in the hands of each patron, sufficient room and equip- ment to meet growing demands, Thirty thousand dollars may scem at first glance adequate, or even generous, support from the city, but when one considers the change with regard to the man- agement and legitimate use of pub- lic libraries within the last twenty- five years as well as the increase in New Britaln's population he may understand the need of a larger Income.

VET ELECTED MAYOR Taunton, Ma Dec. 9, (#)--Dr. Andrew J, McGraw, veteran of the World War, twice decorated by the Italian government, was elected mayor yesterday He ran unopposed, having defeated the present mayor, l.eo J, Coughlin, at the primaries.

Meriden, Dec. 9. (A—The biennial city election yesterday resulted in a sweeping victory for the Republican party, which elected Wales Lines de- Bussy, its candidate for mayor, and swept into office with him every can- didate on the party's ticket, and the aldermen of three of the five wards, This will mean a complete change In the city administration, for while the court of common council had a Re- publican majority before, this will mean that all the commission boards will be Republican, and consequently the appointive offices will be of that party. Mr. deBussys plurality was 104, {which was somewhat less than that of some of the other candidates on the ticket, and showed that Henry T. King his Democratic opponent ran ahead of his ticket.
