PORTLAND INSTITUTE AND LIBRARY.
Mr.. Libby of Cumberland presented bill
'An act to amend the charter of the Portland
Institute and Public Library and to change
| the corporate name, and moved a suspension
of the rules that the bill might have its first
and second reading at the present time and
be put upon its passage to be engrossed. In
explanation of this motion he said By the
liberality of one of our citizens the city of
Portland has lately received a munfcent
gift of public library building an ornament
to the city and in every way commodious.
But the condition of the gift is that the libra
| ry shall henceforth be free to the public.
| The Portland Institute and Library is a
private corporation owning large and valua-
| Dle collection of books, but authorized by
the terms of their charter to exact annual
dues from those desiring the benefits of its
privileges. The corporation now wishes a
change IN its act of Incorporation by which
these privileges shall be made henceforth
| free to all the citizens of Portland, when
| they will move their books into the ex library
building To be opened ia week or ten days
The bill has been very carefully draxn by
Judge W .bb, one of the trustees of the libra
ry, and sent to me for presentation.
The rules were suspended and the bill was
passed to be engrossed.
