fifty Ieet of the center of this avenue is being
confiscated, an embargo 70 all use except the
street railroad. This is being done notwith-
standing the protest of nearly every property
holder abutting. Engineer commissioner Lud-
low adopts this treatment OF Indiana avenue
because TOO expensive TO pave it entire. IL was
not too wide To pave entire when the property
abuttlng paid for IL direct and it certainly is ID
poor exchange for the difference in cost between
paving iOrty ieet more ttne railroad would then
lave 10 pave ten ieeD, with sum saved by PARK
lig,wnen II is apparent parking the center uf the
street conflscates, deuars, to a large extent the
puDilc from Its use, which Is wrong, GetOrm-
ing the street; a special wrong to those owning
property thereon. This short avenue is the
most thoroughly distorted, irregular, agonized
roadway in our city, or will be when the Com
lnissioners gel through with it. We do not ASK
Tor any more surface to be paved than the

THE wORKINGMEN,S LIBRARY.
The Project as Explained by the Presi.
dent Of the Federation Of Labor.

"The movement to establish public library"
said Mr.. E. w. Oyster, the president OF the Fed
Grafton OF Labor, to a STAR reporter who called
to discuss the matter with him last evening, sis
not for the workingmen only, but for the ben
eft of the public generally. There are probably
more books in Washington than in any other
city, but they are not accessible to the class of
readers We want to reach. We do not want this
to be looked upon as a Knight OF Labor or a
trades union project, but a thing for the general
good of the working classes and the public. Our
idea is to have very complete library where
people can go to read whenever they have the
time to spare. We would have it the headquar-
tiers of workmen, where they could come to read
and at the same time to find employment, and
We would have halls in the building TO rent Tor
lodges and such as are organized into unions. We
would make 1t u place where people wanting
workmen would apply and where workinen
could learn OF empioyment-wherem men could
read without feeling that they are wasting
ment he cannot put ia that idle time in reading
at home without feeling that he may be miss
about the streets looking for work stands on
some public corner, and all that time Is wasted.
He could go to this library to read, knowing
that when there Was any work 1t would come
right there after him. SO he would not be vast
ing any time or losing opportunity. He would
come there after work, AS it were, and read
while waiting. When any one wanted to EN-.
ploy mechanic oil any sort he would go to the
library to find him. In this way double pur-
Posc ~ouio De served ana great good done the
community. II we get money enough we would
erect building centrally located and adapted
to our purposes. We would have business
places on the first floor that would bring In
good rent, a hall above, and then the library,
anu lodge rooms to rent. OF course all this de-
Ponds upon how much money we get If public
spirited men OF wealth take hold OF the thing,
as think they seem disposed To do, we shall
have no trouble to get just what We want. But
at all events we will do tine best in our power.
The books we propose to get will be the best
standard works. There will be history aud
travels, some ficLiol some works OF religious
character, works on political economy and
upon architecture and all the mechanical arts.
In it we will have nothing that is not good.
Thus far our plans are all in our minds. But
we have collected some money already, and the
solid citizens OF the place seem much Interested
In advancing the project. We feel very much
encouraged and are confident that we shall sue
ceed."
