THE TREASURY LIBRARY.-The committee
consisting of Thomas ]. Brennan, Secretary
Manning's private secretary; E. j. Graham,
Assistant Secretary Fairchild's private secre-
tary, and Mr. j. A. Towner who were detailed
tn make general examination OF the Treasury
department library and make such recon-
mendatons as they might fit, has COM
Secretary Smith. The committee was ap-
pointed to devise some means by which the
books OF the library will be available to the
clerks of the department; AS the library is
open but from till 2, and the clerks are COM
PEELED TO be at their desks during office hours,
they cannot have access to the library. The re-
port recommends that the library be kept open
from till 8 in the morning and from 4 TO in
the afternoon, accessible to employees eXclu.
sively. The members of their families can
draw books during the regular hours. The re-
port also recommends a change in the system
of making purchases. Instead of purchasing a
quantity OF books at once in New York It is
suggested that negotiations be entered into with
local booksellers 10 send copies OF books when.
ever published to the librarian on probation, to
be reviewed. 1t Is also recommended that the
library of reference be kept separate and dis
tnct from the circulating library, and that q
complete catalogue be made at once. The re-
port includes an inventory of the contents Of
the library.
