I am a member of the committee appointed to draft a charter and by-laws for the proposed corporation, which will operate this library. We understand that such a library has been operated success-fully in Asheville, and would like very much to know something of your experience and your set-up with this library. I would appreciate your turning this letter over to the manager or head of your library association with the request that he answer ~as many of the questions, which I am setting out in this letter, as he will. 1. Is your library association incorporated? If so, No is it an eleemosynary or a profit corporation? 2. Are shares issued to the members? f..ro t 3.
