Wisconsin Free Library commission report highlights library success
The tenth biennial Wisconsin Free Library commission report lauds Wisconsin as a leading state in library work.

The report links state library systems to population needs and cites other national data on lawyers and post office counterfeiting. It notes Germany's beer production cut and includes census comparisons of English sparrows versus robins. Panama Canal tolls increased after opening, signaling rising South American traffic.
