ALL BUT ONE MEMBER OF BOARD WITH HIM Controversy to Be Emded by Draw. Ins; In the Fntar for Only Snffl rleat to Meet the Estimate Ap proved by Areblteeta. President Rohrer of the Public Library board holds- that It was never the Intention of Mr. Carnegie that the city treasurer should handle the money donated by him for the erection of a public library bulldlnn In thla city and he so Informed his col leagues In a four-page typewritten com munication at the meeting of the board last night. With the exception of Attorney J. J. Stewart, the members of the board sided with President Rohrer. In his communication Mr. Rohrer said that Mr.. Carnegie did not Intend to make a direct cash gift of ITO.OOO to the city of Council Bluffs with which the city was ex pected to build a library, but on th con trary Mr. Carnegie Intended to present the city with a library building which he pays for himself of through his special treasurer. After citing at length what he considered the law on the question President Rohrer closed his communication with the follow ing recommendation: In order to bring thla useless nnd un necessary contention of th, city treasurer to an end as to who should handle the small cash balances that may be held over from 4lme to time for a few days. I would recommend that In the future your honor able body do net approve any requisition for cash from the special treasurer In ex cess of the estimates approved and ordered paid. The recommendation waa concurred In, Member Stewart alone dissenting. Estimates on the building amounting to 811,038 were approved and ordered pold.
