It was made regardless of the fact that the operatives were already working under nervous strain brought about by the piece-work system, and in work rooms in which the temperature is raised to 110 degress by the steam pipes used in shaping the hosiery. The result might have been forseen. The workers threw ap their jobs. The mill was forced J ;o close, and a lot of valuable time j was lost. With the demand for reducing ;axes ringing from every direction, ;he county commissioners felt constrained to cut,?no?to fire the ibrary, for which no tax had ever seen levied, but which had in more Prosperous years received as much is $500 from the county, and last rear received $250. Thus the War en County Memorial Library is left ;o root for itself or die. It will probably do both unless the citizens )f the county make up their minds o do their part to make up the ieficit. To close it now would mean an irreparable loss. It is nore needed at this time and used more than iii has ever been before. The town appropriation has been :ut, but the commissioners were less Irastic in their action than the :ounty had been. For their conlideration the public may well be jrateful. Two hundred dollars may lot seem a very adequate amount >n which to finance a public lib- , ary, but it will go a long distance oward paying the rent. A little nore added will at least provide a cof.
