Cost of Building, $21,000.00. Amount donated by Mr. Carnegie, $20,000.00. ; (Signed.) VIRGINIA GUNN, Librarian. Americus, Ga. ■ August 12th, 1915. (The reason why our salaries aud' wages were so low in 1911 was be-! cause the Assistant Librarian served' as an apprentice without pay.—C. W.) ! As a result of the above statement, we were immediately notified that the same was unsatisfactory, in that our ( total income had in only orte-instance attained the amount guaranteed, by the city. Since that time cofisiderable correspondence has passed between the Carnegie Library Corporation, the Library Commission of Georgia and myself, with the final result that all Library Extension work in the state has been stopped by the Carnegie Cor poration, pending a faithful compli ance upon the part of the City of Americus with its contract with the Carnegie Corporation. The City of Ma con has applied for a $50,000 Libra ry building, Cordele for a $10,000.00 addition to its present building; six! other smaller cities have applied for | buildings, but none of them have as j yet been granted.
