TWENTY FOURTH YEAR
he
Library Board Had a Session
The Carnegio library board had a ses
sion Monday evening at which time
two matters were discussed at some
length Firstly what shall bo the style
of architecture Secondly what shall
bo the policy of the board in expending
the 810000 donation Somo favored
putting the entire amount in the build
ing and providing for furniture in other
sources Others favor making all ex
penditures out of the donation unless
some of i McCooks people of means
come -in and make liberal donations
covering this item There seems to bo
a strong sentiment in the city to this
end that the donations from Carnegie
and others the money in sight and
hand when the contract is let shall
cover all expenditures and that there
shall be no dedicatory collection or debt
of any kind The sentiment has many
adherents that the 1000 annually paid
by the taxpayers of the city is all that
should be required by the library board
of the people The Tribune believes
that thiB amount is a liberal expenditure
by the people of this city for this one
item of muncipal expense and that un
less some of our monied people step into
the breach with liberal cash donations
in hand the 10000 should be tho limit
of expenditure at this time on public
Srarv
Jhis ground seems to be more tenable
when it is considered that sewer bonds
and public school bonds are contemp
lated this year and that other public
and private expenditures will be un
usually heavy this season and that it
is but common prudence to husband re
sources at a time when the demands are
so numerous and pressing
Building Association Board Meeting

building association hold a regular
