This was done at the annual meeting of the Library Association on Friday evening. And this generosity upon the part of the Association Is highly com mended, as It assures to Amerlcus a handsome $20,000 llbrabry. If the city council concurs therein. Correspondence with Mr. Carnegie regarding the deBired donation of $20,- 000 Is now in progress. The usual condition upon which these generous gifts are made Is that the city accepting the library bind It self to appropriate annually, 10 per cent of the donation towards the cost of maintalnance, a condition which is accepted by all cities. In the event Amerlcus receives $20,- 00 from Mr. Carnegie, it will cost the city $2,000 annually to maintain the library. The city council has taken no form al action as yet upon this proposition, having referred the matter for the present to a committee of that body for Investigation and report. The desire upon the part of the peo ple of Amerlcus for a handsome mar ble library building, costing $20,000, and coming as a gift from the great philanthropist. Mr. Carnegie, Is very general, and hope Is expressed that the movement will be successful. The Amerlcus Library Association owns a comfortable building and val uable lot In the business centre, and this is tendered the city council for the purpose Indicated. The library Is not supported as It should be, and the proposed change is desirable.
