, but rather as a necessity, and be maintained in the same manner
that the schools, parks, fire departments and public roads are
maintained--through the tax levy.

Seventh--Where all contribute the burden is not felt; each aiding
according to his ability.

Eighth--Permanency is acquired for the library, and many valuable
governmental, state and other publications may be obtained without cost,
a privilege that is often denied to subscription libraries.

Ninth--The trustees and librarian are not hampered in their work by
inability to collect subscriptions or the failure of an entertainment to
return a profit.

Tenth--There is a more efficient and closer co-operation with the public
schools and other municipal institutions and interests.

Eleventh--Public ownership secures more democratic service and broadness
in administration.

Finally--All are interested in a Free Public Library, and in an
emergency there will be a more generous response to an appeal for
financial assistance.
