The township council of South Gosfield refused to grant the small sum of $25 to Kingsville’s public library and with one accord granted $40 to Ruthven’s brass band. Now the town is retaliating as no one from the township is allowed to take out a book unless they pay one dollar per year. This is a sad thing for many who live in the township adjacent to the town and they are making a grand kick now at the smallness of their council in refusing the grant, thereby depriving them of access to such good literature.
