SIR: Your correspondent, Reuben speaks Of the discus
sion TO the Smithson fund, if it were personal
question, regarding Mr. Henry and Mr. Jowctt In fsc
it discussion the responsibility of the Regents to
the law which made them.
That law provides that they shall make from the in
"terest of said fund appropriation exceeding an
average Of $4,000 annually for the gradual formation
I" library composed OF valuable works pertaining
" all departments OF human knowledge"
Created by this law, the Regents in their las, repor.
state that the annual expense Of the management Of
the institution requires $50 OOO about $3.50
only is left and therefore they think it advisable 10 pay
nothing to the library.
The object to which they do wish 70 appropriate the
$500 consumed in aging the fund printing
booksa not provided for at all in the statute;
templG;ed it 10 true, by persons when the act
passed suggested by them ia Congress- and voted down
by heavy votes every time it moved.
The object of the act to found public library.
Like every other Appropriation BILL it named the anosns
to be expended with the saving words not TO exceed
that sum that there need not be the necessity of making
out the payments to the round of s25 900 exactly
every year. Using these words loop hole, the Com
mi,tco of the Regents determine that they need not
pend anything for this purpose.
And gradually they have built up q system Of manage
nen which by their showing spends eco oeo
taking of the remainder Of s35, 900
