CARNEGIE LIBRARY AND
CIVIC CENTER BUILDINGS
Editor Citizen:
Th'o readers of your paper this
oYlT, drtlm notc 2S
.n .CUnC11 ,n grant 'ho
for the Robinson corner upon which'
to erect the proposed Carnegie libra-
rv building. This action or tho coun-
!' " partially duo to a mlsunder-
"B. it being represented by the
' commlttco that neither tho
fa- ,u.y lot nor tho Robinson corner
wn8 large enough to be acceptable to
the School Doard for a civic center
building.
Somo months ago mooting 0f the
citizens wore held for tho purpose of
taking tho necessary steps for the
purchaso of deslrublo property for a
Central Park and Civic Center. Two
or thrco sltos wero proposed, and It
was finally decided all things consid
ered to recommend tho purchase of
tho Robinson cornor and tho Shipley
property with tho hope that at some
future timo tho w. S. Robinson pron-
erty might also bo acquired, which
nil togcthor would furnish an Ideal
sito for tho purposes Intended, Upon
tho recommendation of tho citizens'
committee, tho City Council purchas.
od tho Shlploy property and the Rob
inson for $1800 and $4000 respectively.
Tho purchaso of tho Robinson cor
ner, the records of tho city show, was
mado for Central Park and Chic Cen
ter purposes. In fact tho main ob
ject for tho purchaso of both proper
ties was to provide for a Central Park
nnd a Civic Conter. It is truo thnt
It was In mind that a site should bo
provided for tho Public Library, but
thin was not the prlmo object of the
purchases.
Now tho Public Library Board
femes along nnd potltlons that th'o
most vnluablo part of tho whole pur
chaso, tho Robinson cornor, bo deed
ed to tho Doard for the erection of a
comparatively small public library
building, which in tho opinion or tho
writer will to an extont nullify tho
civic center nnd Central pnrk scheme.
In conversation with' a representa
tive of tho school board, tho writer
Is Informed that something over
$28,000 Is now available for a school
and civic center building, nnd that
cither tho Robinson corner site or tho
Shlp'oy slto would bo acceptnblo to
the Rchool board, and that either
site would provldo sufficient
ground for tho purpose. Tho writer
Is nlso Informed that th'o only ob
stacle In tho way of tho school board
going ahead with the building Is the
fact that somo of our pcoplo arc In
sisting upon tho purchnso of tho
Apollo hall property. To do so, at
tho figure asked, viz: $10,000 would
tnko such' a largo pnrt of tho funds
available, that the building of a sult
nblo chic center building would bo
out of tho question. It appears thnt
In somo wny tho fund should be in
creased that we might have $40,000
clvlo renter building. Under theso
circumstances, nnd In view of tho fact
that thcro Is strong and rrowlnc on
position to th'o purchaso of tho Apol
lo hnll with public funds, would It
not bo ndvlsnblo for tho wholo peo
ple to center on a nlco-chic center
buildings Wo need such a building
"Tho saving of monoy usually moans tlio swing
m r a man. Tt moans the cutting off indulgent .
m r avoiding vicious liabits. ' ' O. S. Marden

to tako care of our school needs and
provldo Tor our amusements and en
tertainments in plnco of using our
church buildings. Wo can In this way
or.courago our homo dramatic talent
and thus furnish tho pcoplo with good
wholesome nmuBomtnt.
Tho writer was of tho opinion that
a general plan should be laid out for
our Central Park and civic center be
fore permanent buildings wore locat
ed thoreon, but It Is necessary that
nctlon bo taken at onco relative to
providing for a slto for tho Public li
brary. Let us by nil means locate our ci
vic center building on tho Robinson
corner which Is tho proper place for
it considering tho purposes tor which
It is to bo used. Lot th'o library board
erect tho Public Library building on
tho Shipley proporty nearer to tho
center of town nnd tho center of the
block. Then If Uio opportunity comes
as wc hope It may, that tho interven
ing property can bo purchased at a
reasonable price, this ccntrnl space
and thnt In ho rear of tho buildings
win maKo a splendid central park.
To tho writer, it would bo a mistake
not to'glvo tho clric center building
tho cornor site. It Is tho proper
place for It. Tho Public Library will
also havo a splendid site on tho Ship
ley property.
tt Is to ho hoped that tho City Coun
cil will re-coiiflldor Us nctlon.

Notes
Kverybodr's After "Jimmy Valentine"
to
Presumably taking a hint from the
song, everyone Is looking out for
"Alias Jimmy Valontlnc." In this
caso It Is Metro's screen version of
th'o famous Paul Armstrong drama,
with Bert Lytcll tho star; nnd it is
duo for a showing at the Realart the
ntro next Monday and Tucsdny.
As may bo recalled, Jimmy Valen
tino is a prisoner In Sing Sing on a
chnrgo of bank robbery, who has
earned the enmity of tho brutal war
den because ho always "plays the
gentleman." Jimmy has the reputa
tion of b'clng n master cracksman
who opens safes without burglar's Im
plements, relying upon hln extremely
hensltivc touch" to feel tho slight Jar
ot tho tumblers In tho combinations
of safes. What followed tho effect of
Jimmy's rcputntlon and tho posessBlon
ot this odd skill on his alter life
forms'onn of tho most thrilling breath
putcblng melodramas over wrttton.
Tho cast supporting Mr. Lytoll In
iludea Vola Valo, Eugcno Pailetto,
Wilton Taylor, Marc Robblns, Robert
Punbnr, Wintor Hall and Jam8 Far
ley, Finis Fox wrote the scenario, Sol
Pollto photographed tho plcturo and
S'dney Ultman arranged tho special
art settings. Maxwell Kargor, direc
tor gonornl supervised tho entire pro"-ditctlon.
