opinion that It would DO best to postpone the election
of a Librarian until the Legislature makes some de-
cson regarding the finishing of the rooms OF the State
Library In the west wing Of the Capitol Their views
prevailed and no librarian elected, but the salary
of Mr. Howell. who IS now acting librarian, was
increased.
A careful estimate has been made as to the cost
Of completing the rooms of the library An approprl-
alton of $4,000 would finish them and it IS probable
that the legislature Will appropriate the money.

Teachers reported that the WORN Oh ulStuo.ins 'ho
