THE CITY GOVEKNMENT.

The Work of Special Council Meeting
Last Evening.
special meeting of the city council was
held last night.
Sphinx & Nichols were awarded the con
tract for repairing the pump house, their bid
being $1,000.
An accountant was ordered to be employed
to investigate the books and accounts of the
city officers.
A communication from the city engineer
was read, calling the attention of the coun-
Gil to the dangerous condition of the bridge
on Western avenue crossing the St. Paul
& Pacific railroad track. The bridge
was built by the railroad company, but some
time since one of the abutment walls caved
in and the city had to make the repairs.
The superintendent of the road claims that
it is the duty of the city to keep the bridge
in repair. The matter was referred to the
committee on roads and bridges.
L. M. Stewart was granted permission to
tear down his shed and barn and rebuild.
The committee on public buildings recon-
mended that rooms one, two and three IN the
city hall be devoted to the superintendent Of
the water works and other city officers.
Some Misunderstanding in regard to the
lease of the rooms caused the matter to be
referred back to the committee. Adjourned.

THE NATIONAL LIBRARY

Proposition to Prortdc Nc,c aud Suitable |
Accommodations for the Three Hundred
and Thirty Flee Thousand Totun.es.
Washington Letter Chicago Times.
Mr.. Spoford, the Congressional librarian,
says that not one member out of ten makes
any use of the Congressional library: Under
the rules of the library, public officials are
the only ones allowed to draw books from
the library, and as a necessary consequence
the use of the vast library is very restricted.
This is, however, through no fault Of the
librarian. The library Is open from 8 until
during the Congressional vacation, and
until the daily adjournment Of Congress dur
ing sessions. Every one has the right to go
into the library while it is opon and obtain
books for reading in the library only. The
present regulations of the library practically
exclude from it the thousands of people en-
ployed in the departments. Mr.. Spofford
has made several attempts to remedy this by
having the library opened evenings. He has
offered his services without extra compensa-
ton, but Congress has always refused to give
the authority. This has been great do.
privation, as the library is one of the most
valuable in the>world. The limited class
who have access to the library make but
little use of it. For the magnificent stock
of French books in the library, there are not
over eight Or ten habitual readers. Under
the new plan for the construction of q
capitol library, it is proposed to locate it in
much more central portion of the city, and
it is also proposed to have it opened day and
evening for the benefit of all who desire to
! read.
The subject has been most vigorously
agited during this present Congress. A re-
view of the situation is shown in the follow
ing interview with Spoford, who says:
THE NEW LIBRARY BUILDING.
The long-vexed question of providing &C
Communications for the mammoth library at
the capitol, now SO over crowded in all it's
departments, seems to approach near to a
joint commission, consisting of the Senate
and House chairman of the committees OF
public buildings and grounds and of the
chairmen of the joint committee on the
library, together with the librarian of Con
gress. This commission of four have held
three or four meetings, have considered
plans, and viewed various sites with the view
to concluding what is the most expedient
plan to recommend to Congress. The ques.
ton is not free from difficulty, since the
first impression of nearly all, that the library
ought not to be removed from the capitol is
found impracticable to be carried out. The
great overgrown library, already numbering
three hundred and thirty-fve thousand
volumes besides nearly one hundred thou
sand maps, charts, engravings, and other oh.
jects of art, which, spread in proper shape
for examination, would require rooms ono
space equal to more than half the capito
building, is rapidly and steadily growing
with each advancing year. The library q
