They suggested to repres- entatives, Mr. Ted Wallas, Mrs. Jarvis and Mrs. George Berry, a possible 50c tax levy per person be allowed to support a public library. Council could not proceed be- cause an expected letter from the village trustees had not arrived in time.

With him were King Library Board member Mr. John L. Grew; Chief Librarian Mrs. A. E. Jarvis and secretary Mrs. Har- old Ratcliff. A disappointed delegation from King Memorial Lib- rary will have to Wait until King Township Council meets again before the next step is taken to change the assoc- iation library into a public one.
