ONE ASSISTANT TO BE DISPENSED WITH

The trustees of the Tree Public library
are contenipfatlng making n change In tbc
near future In the management of the In
stitution that will materially icduco the
present running expenses nnd leave more
money at the disposal ot the boald for the
purchase of now books. The plan at pres
ent proposed Is to reduce the number ol
assistants to the librarian , which the mem
bers of the board believe can bo done with
out In any way Impairing the efficiency ol
the service rendered the patrons of the
library. At present the librarian , Mlsa
Peterson , Is furnished two assistants ,
which the members of the board think la
more than the needs ot the library require.
U Is propoced to do away with the services
of ono ot them. The assistants each receive
a salary of $40 per month , so by dlbpenslng
with the services of ono of them the boaul
would mnko a } early saving of ? 4SO.
The Income for the support of the public
library Is derived from a 1-ralll levy on
the assessed valuation of the city , which
amounts on the average to about $4fiOO ,
From this has to bo paid the rent ot the
rooms In which the library Is located In
the Merrlam block , the balnrles of the
librarian , her two assistants , a Janitor anil
atl other expenses , such as binding of books ,
lighting and other sundry Items. The salary
Df the librarian Is $720 per annum , thai
of the Janitor $240 nnd thnt of the two as
sistants $960. U Is estimated that by dis
pensing with the services of one of the
assistants tba saving of salary would en
able the board to purchase some three hun
dred new books a year.
In discussing the matter yesterday one ol
the trustees stated that the board had bat
this matter under consideration for som <
ttmo past and that the general oplulor
of the members Is that the work nt tin
| llbiary does not require the constant serv
ices of three people and that It ought to be
able to be done by the librarian and on <
efficient assistant. The board lntcontemplat
ing this step , bo said , had no 'intention 01
desire to Impair the efficiency of the servlci
rendered. If this weie found not to be prac
tlcablc an assistant can be engaged lor :
few hours In the afternoons and Saturdays
when the call for books was the greatest
A library to keep up with the times , h <
explains , needs constant additions to It :
shelves and this cannot be accompllahcc
without money. By saving the salary of om
assistant a material addition to theclrculat
Ing department of the library can be madi
every year and this he believed will bi
greatly appreciated by those who dcpem
on the public library for their leadlni
matter. The reduction In the number o
assistants , he said , would likely bo Hindi
before the commencement of the new year
