According to a bulletin published by the U. S. Bureau of Education in 1926, the number of libraries under county control having 3,000 volumes or over in 1923 was as follows: California, 38; Washington, 2; Oregon, 2; Wyoming, 12; Utah, 6; Montana, 7; Iowa, 1; Illinois, 1; Indiana, 8; Ohio, 5; Pennsylvania, 4; Massachusetts, 6 (law libraries); Connecticut, 2 (law libraries); New Jersey, 4; Maryland, 1; North Carolina, 1; South Carolina, 1; Tennessee, 1; Georgia, 1; Texas, 5. “Statistics of Public, Society, and School Libraries, 1923,” Bulletin, 1926, No. 9, United States Bureau of Education.

6 In a study published by the U. S. Department of Labor in 1928 the following thirty-three counties were listed as having county parks: Bergen, Camden, Essex, Hudson, and Union counties, New Jersey; Berkeley county, West Virginia; Clark and Grays Harbor counties, Washington; Clatsop county, Oregon; Cook and DuPage counties, Illinois; Erie and Westchester counties, New York; Guilford and Rockingham counties, North Carolina; Harris and Tarrant counties, Texas; Henry county, Indiana; Humboldt, Kern, Los Angeles, Orange, and Santa Clara counties, California; Jackson, Muskegon, and Wayne counties, Michigan; Jackson county, Missouri; Marathon and Milwaukee counties, Wisconsin; Orange county, Florida; Pueblo county, Colorado; and Ramsay county, Minnesota. Converse county, Wyoming, had a park which was acquired by gift rather than purchase, as in the case of the other county parks listed above. Twelve other counties were reported as having parks in 1928, but the data were not sufficient to include in the report. “Park Recreation Areas in the United States,” Bulletin of the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics, No. 462 (Washington, 1928)Google Scholar.
