Ownlnj Property. MUST HAVE FRONTAGE OF HUNDRED FEET Aannal Iteport of President Rohrer bows Finances to Fe In Good Condition, with More Panda for Cnrrent Year. . The trustees of the public library decided after considerable discussion at tbclr monthly meeting yesterday afternoon to advertise for propositions from property owners for a site for the new Carnegie library budding. It waa decided that no propositions would be considered In which tne property offered did not hare a front age of at least 100 feet and a depth of 123 feet. At the same time the board Inti mated, and the advertisements will con tain a clause to the effect, that the Jarger the property offered the greater the con sideration it will receive at the hands of the board. All property offered the board must have a clear title, as the trustees will not consider any other. Advertisements will be placed In all the dally papers hav ing a circulation In the city, and bids must be In the hands of the president ot the board within three weeks after the date of the first publication of the notice. While discussing the best method of se curing a suitable site for the new library buildings the members ot the board re frained from expressing their preferences. Rev. Father Smyth and Trustee Balrd thought that the board ought to enter Into correspondence with architects, with a view ot securing their assistance In se lecting suitable site, but this the other members of the board deemed premature. Tbe opinion of the majority was that It was time enough to secure the services of architects after the board bad received propositions for a site, and Father Smyth's motion was voted down. ( nance Meeting; Hoar. In view, of tbe fact that tbe board would have considerable business to transact at Its session from now on until the comple tion of the new building, at tbe suggestion of Trustee Bender, It was decided to hold the regular monthly meetings In the even ing at 7:30 o'clock Instead of in the after noon until October 1. Trustee Burke op posed the proposition to hold the meet ings In the evening during the winter months. The reason given -by Mr. Bender for his suggestion was that tbe afternoons did not give sufficient time for the trans action of the business before the board un less the session was extended beyond the hour of 6 o'clock, the time (or supper. President Rohrer submitted his annual report, a large portion of which was de voted to a recital of tbe history of the ef forts of the board to obtain a donation from Mi. Carnegie and Its success In se curing the $70,000 for a new library build ing. Regarding tbe finances of the library for Vj02, it showed that, on December 31, 1901, there Has a balance of $2,159.63: that the county treasurer collected $3,506.85 and $296.53 was turned In by the librarian, making i total revenue for tbe year of $5, 963.01. The . expenditures were $4,246.65, leaving- a balance to begin 1903 with $1, 716.36. The larger Items of expense were: Rent, 0; bzlarles, $1,800; books ' pur chased, $407.77; periodicals. $204.75, and binding, $i76 05. Mr. Rohrer called atten tion to the fact that tbe disbursements for 1902 exceeded those of 1901 only by 23 cents. More Panda for Cnrrent Tear. The fact that the board was only per mitted to levy a tax of 1 mill during 1902 for the maintenance of the library. Presi dent Rohrer stated In bis report, necessi tated a most conservative policy by tbe board ln its expenditures. ' For 1903 the tax levy Is IVi mills. The number of books In the circulating department of tbe li brary on December SI, 1902, wus 17,650, belrg an Increase of 426 over the same date the year previous. During- 1902 61,584 books were circulated among the patrons of the library and-the week-day visitors to tbe rooms numbered 66,029 and on Sun days 1,607. Regarding the decrease ln the number of books circulated during 1902, as compared with the previous year. President Rohrer ascribed It to the fact that patrons do more of their reading In the library than before and that this was equally true of the children, who liberally patronize tbe room recently opened for their especial benefit. The monthly report of the finance com mittee showed a balance of 11.411.32 In the library fund on Febvdry 1. The librarian's report for January'showed 1,338 registered book-takers and' 4,14$ books taken out dur ing the month. The board decided to sub scribe to a membership In the Iowa State Historical society. For. the first time Ir many montba every nf mber ot the board was present at the meeting.

Attorney General Mullan today rendered an opinion in response to an Inquiry aa to the manner of levying road taxes under the new law, which will be of state wide interest, in view of the many Inquiries ln regard to the manner of making the change from the old to the new. He holds that at the next meeting ot the township trustees, tbe first week in April of this year, It is their duty to make two levies of road taxes, one for the year 1903 and one for the year 1904, the former to be ; collected this year In the manner followed ln the past and tbe other to be collected next year in the manner provided by the new law. This is because the change Is from paying the taxes by "working the roads" to cash payment, the cash payment plan necessitating collection a year in ad vance. , , , , ftrons; Pressure for Pardon.

Self-defense Is pleaded, though the supreme court, in pasalag on the case last summer, decided that it was clear that Hammer bad armed himself with a knife and bad deliberately sought a quarrel with Wheatcroft in order that he might use the weapon and carry out his oft-repeated threats against him; therefore, that self defense could not be pleaded, no matter how the actual fight began. The petition for pardon is strongly backed, however, and may be granted. In Memory of Judge Ilnbbnrd. The time of the state supreme court was given over this afternoon for several hours to a service ln memory of tbe late Judge N. M.

Ferret Contract Was Good. The supreme court this morning gave hearty commendation to a contract be tween the Board ot Supervisors ot Cass county and C. W. Welman, by which the latter was to engage in uncovering prop erty which bad escaped taxation and waa to receive half of all money collected as taxes on such hidden property. After tbe contract had been carr.'ed out a taxpayer sought to enjoin payment of the commis sion. Tbe supreme court, In an opinion by Justice Sherwln, says that the contract was all right and tbe board had full au thority to make It and pay whatever com mission It desired. The fact that a part of the taxea go to the state makes no dif ference, neither is tbe contract In any sense against public policy, but highly commendable.
