'"Efforts Are Successful. Ordinances, governing traffic lajv? In the city, were paused at the melt ing held by the Board of Aldermen last night. They will make seme radical changes and are as follows: 1 ? An ordinance preventing Ve il I elea from turning aronnd on Main street, between Market .and Glad den atroeta. or at the* intersection of these streets, and alao requiring all vehicles to keep to the right, and atop only when cloae to the curb. A fine of $10 is fixed as a penalty for violation. 2 ? An ordinance ^-requiring all persons, who drive automobiles at night, and who have glaring head lights on their machlnea, to use dim mere, so as to cause aa little glare aa possible. A fine of $10 Is fixed as a penalty for violation. x I. ? An ordinance, preventing fish carts from stopping on Main street, between Market and Gladden, and on Market, between the market and Second. Penalty of $6 la fixed aa a penalty for violation. 4. ? An ordinance compelling sill railroad* to put gates at all streets where their tracka croased, and k^ep these gatee down while trains $re passing. Pine of $25 la fixed as a penalty for violation. The Board also' authorized the purchaae of two automatic "traflie oops." These constat of posts wifh a red flag attached in the day tlt&. and a red lantern at' night, oin m*L -at- the eoraer of and Market streets, .and the other at Market and Second. All vehicles ivill be ordered to drive, to the riKht of these posts, when turning the corners. A committee, composed of J. G. Bragaw, Jr., E. R Mlxon and Dr. H. W. Carter, appeared before the board laat night for the purpose of .asking for an additional appropri ation for the public library. Mr. Bragaw acted as spokesman for the committee. In part, he spoke as tallows: : "The public l'brary was orgHnlzed in 1911, with 500books and 18 mag azines. We have now over 2100 books and over 2,000 magazines. In spite of this Increase, however, the, library is still housed in a room, 16 feet square. Id this room, there are also the librarian's desk and two largo tables, which are used by the patrons. There are 600 bor rowers ol' books, hair of them being children"^ The average circulation is 600 books per month. Tills means tha^ 30,000 books were sent out in to the homes of the city and the county In the five years that the Hfcrary has been organised. "Our receipts for the first year were $666. Last year they were $120. To this, the board of alder men havo been appropriating $1120 annually and about $160 has been realised from basaars, suppers and and similar entertainments. This makes our total revenue about $400 which is exactly what is takes to run the library- We have been go ing along rrom hand to mouth, and we believe that the time has come when we must enlarge. Our pres ent quarters are Inadequate. There is no elbow room for the children. Wo now have an opportunity for getting the offices, formerly used by Ward & Grimes, at a nominal rent. These rooms, with our pres ent quarters, will give us four rooms in all. The rental will be nominal, but with our Increased expense we .must be assured of a larger income^ And we have come before you to- 1 1 night to ask you to make your ap- 1 propria tion $26. instead of $10 per month, for the rest of the fiscal year." The board discussed the matter thoroughly, and while everyone #of them expressed themselves in favor or making the Increased appropria tion. it was decided that on account of the city's depleted treasury, it would not be practicable to give more than $20 a month. This was accepted by the committee. Heber Wlnfleld appeared before the board and called the attention of the aldermen to the bad condi tion of the West End IloBe company, building. The matter was referred . to the flre committee. The city Btrcets came up for diB- j mission, and Mr. Morris, chairman of the street committee, was request ed to obtafh some figures on the price of some new road machinery.
