The New Congregational Library.

The joint select committee upon the subject of
securing better accommodations for the Congress
slonal Library met yesterday. The experts re-
ported that separate building is absolutely
sary, and yet that there should be within the Capt.
tol convenient place for the parliamentary
library, needed constantly by Congressman for
reference. This could be kept in tho main room
Of the present library, while the wings could be
used for the documentary library. 1t has been
suggested that an extension could be made to the
eastern front OF tho centre building, with q con-
Meeting corridor between the wings II Is claimed
that this extension would improve the architect
ural effect of that front, and that the windows of
the legislative halls could then be brought to the
outer walls, thus obtaining moro light and eX-
posure to the open, fresh air.
The committee took up and approved the follow
ing resolution proposed by the experts:
Rcsolued, That, in tho opinion of this commits.
sion, it is ncXpcdient If not impracticabc, to ex
tend the Capitol building so as to provide addi
tional spNco for the rapid growth OF the Library
without seriously interfering with the architcc-
tural proportions thereof and also its conveniences
for legislative purposes; but that practical and
beneficial" changes, such as mentioned in the act
creating this board can and should be made at nc
distant day in and of the Capitol for the better nc
commodation Of the two Houses of Congress. We
therefore, recommend the erection Of a separate
cdlfce for tho Library.
Tho joint committee will meet next Wednesday
to select site, and parties who are Interested In
the matter are requested to submit their PROPOSE
tiOns in writing at that time,
