contract with the Athenaeum. This
contract, to endure ninety-nine years,
stipulated that the Athenaeum should
become part of the public library, and
that the city should defray the expenses
of maintaining il. So far as the
public is concerned there is but
one organization, but in fact
there are two under one roof.
the Minneapolis public library and the
Minneapolis athenaeum. Two other So
cietieS, the Academy o f Natural Sci
enceS and the School of Fine Arts, were
interested in the formation of the insti
ton, but entered into no contract, they
being admitted TO residence in the
building, to remain there at the pleas
uTe of the board.
Under the creating act, $500 had to
be guaranteed for the construction by
private subscription. 1t was soon
raised, The determination of plans
and the selection of site occupied
considerable time. In the fall of 1886,
however. the foundation was laid, and
now, In 1889, the building stands COM
plete. The delay has not, in this case,
been dangerous. but. rather, productive
of good, and while its cost. as originally
estimated, was TO have been Sl50,000,
and while the actual cost has been $685.
600, the building far exceeds in beauty,
strength and convenience the one orig
inally planned.
THE BUILDINGS TENANT.
Nor was the library board fOrgetful
of what this structure was intended to
shelter. In May. 1883, $4,000 was APP
propriated for the purchase of books,
making $50, 900 for the library, in con-
neetion with $4,000 accumulated from
the Spencer fund. Librarian Putnam
was sent abroad. and over 1900 vol
umeS were added to the collection.
And while the public fund will be used
for the purchase of popular literature,
the Spencer fund for the purchase of
reference books more particularly, will
serve to preserve the balance. There is
in the library vast amount of eXpens-
i've reference material in the Way of
