Ladies of the City to Have a "Tag" IX y lir tho Iltrpow of ItaUIng Funds FVr New Books For the Tub- I He Library "The public library." declared a Charlotte woman yesterday, "is one institution that the city cannot af ford to allow to stand still or be re tarded In Its usefulness. The ladles have taken hol,i of the work to raise funds to buy new books, and other wise Increase its usefulness. The peo ple as a whole should lend a helping . hand In every way possible accord ing to their opportunity and means. Going over the librarian's report for March, 100, the following extract shows clearly the need of new books, Stld also shows the benefit the library has been to the public at Urge. "In recording the history of the work of the month Just passed the Statistics show an Interesting condi- j tlon. The number of books In the j library December 31. 190. was S.S53 1 volumes; the 23d of March. 1P09. the ! number of registered readers was 5.- 363. With 5 . 3 ri :t volumes, of w hich , only about 3.000 circulate, we have ' managed to circulate 35.292 volumes In 1S08 and since the opening library In July, 1803, I0.32T volumes , have been Issued for home use. in the face of these figures It does seem : that the city canuot afford not to upport the library If the under : taking had been a failure. If we had failed to get the people to use the library, then there might be some : Criticism. If we had supplied onl 1.500 persons with books on an ap 'proprlatlon of $2,500 a year, surel' it a head Is not too much to expend for library purposes. Now that we : have .353 people using the library .It Is only right that we should have ' the proportionate appropriation. The .-demands upon a public library in a thriving, growing city like Charlotte iT liberal suppor?. Our work'h .he city schools and high schools of the '.county is quite a sufficient answer to "Why do we need a public li brary Tf ' 'There is to be what Is called a tag day Saturdav for the benefit of -therllbrary. This is to be under the management of the "Woman's Club. . but the whole city Is Invited. I shall not undertake to tell what It is. but I think the women are froing to manage It, and the men will support it and make It a success." Water Mains Laying in Kllzaheth About Completed. , The finishing touches are being put to the work of laying a mile of n?iv -Inch water mains In the Elizabethan section of the city, which has here tofore been without this connection.

Rusiness session ASK PAY ON YEAR BASIS. School Commissioners to Be Petition ed to Devote Uie Surplun In Sclioot Treasury to Payment of Claries of White Teachers During Summer. A very interesting proposition which will be presented to the new board of school commissioners is that to pay the teachers In the white schools their regular salaries during the summer months. Strong support Is aligning Itself on the side of the teat hem. who are among the ablest In th . State and whose salaries are far from commensurate with their abil ities and the Invaluable service they render the city. At present. It Is stat ed, the salary paid every male em ploye, of the school department, from superintendent down to Janitor. is figured on a twelve-month basis while not a single one of ths lady teachers, who number In their ranks some of as brilliant young women as Charlotte contains receives compensation during the summer months. So exacting are school duties during the term that It Is practically impossible for them to prepare themselves to enter another pursuit In summer. Their year's sala ries therefore are only nine times the emolument for one month and totally out of proportion to the service rend ered. If they were paid tho year round. It Is arjrued. as are the men, the vacation time could be spent In j such recreation ana stuay as would equip them for the better discharge of their duties next year. It so happens that the close of the present administration leaves (10.000 In the treasury of the school board. which It Is forbidden to spend for the erection of new buildings, this lying outside Its province. The friends of the young ladies hold that consider ably lese than this amount would lie necessary, and that the fact of ihe, surplus proves that the schools are self-sstainlrtg from the ordinary in comes, even with twelve-month pay all around I..
