Ioni.such its Wireless telegraphy. avia-
tion and road building, as well as
‘bridge building. was a subject woll
talked over at the City of Norwalk
Board of Estimate and Taxation meet-
ingrheld in the Norwalk City Council
Chamber Ill Wall street. on Saturday
. evening. John S. Seymour thought
-thst the appropriation for books was
spent for fiction ill too great a tie-
groe and not enough for the issues of
tho'm‘esentday. He said there should
bowbooks in the library that. would
tell the people about bridge building.
as we are going to build a bridge right
here in Norwalk. He thought that the
other scientific ideas should be repre.
sented .by books Iii the public library
and that the purchases that have been
lately made would be ludicrous if they *
were not. serious. He said that the li-
brary is full of books that should not
be there and that some of the books
are. full of fuddyism and not fit to be
read.

Mr. Kent said the library is not SDI'C-

as the more scientific books are neces-

for those who cannot afford lo buy

should rcr-ctw the more consideration.
He did not agree with Mr. Seymour

that are not the books for unyonp to
