After the vote had been announced
W. S. Johnson, who has been prom
inently identified with the party that
favored the removal, got up and said,
that some of the citizens of Putnam
believed that he was opposed to the
library.
“That is not true,” he continued, “I
am in favor of it and to verify my
words. I am ready to contribute 31,000
toward the erection of a suitable li
brary building, more tf necessary.”
This statement was greeted with
cheers and then there was nothing
more to do except adjourn and go
iiome. And this everyone proceeded
to do. The vote in favor of the prop
jsition that the lirary be housed in
he municipal building was so decla
re that it is not likely that any fnr
:her attempt will be made to change
ir retard the carrying out of this pro
tect.
