overcome the objections of the city council
Major Rinehsrt moved that the advisory board
recommend the new proposition to the city
council, and it was generally agreed to.

bron declaring that the suggestions made needed

the proposed form. He thought there was no

funding the indebtedness. As there seemed to
be unanimity on that point the board concluded,
as Judge Jacobs was in court and could not
attend, 10 send the message to the council with
favorable recommendation, and lst that body
receive the opinion from him. This would save
time

PUBLIC LIBRARY OPENING.
Day for the Circulation of Books VIII
BE Decemhar


Inc commissioners OF the public library have
announced the formal opening OF the library ON
Tuesday, December /. AT that time the books
Will Be put into regular circulation. After the
catalogue work at Amherst had closed the
library received direct from the booksellers 800
volumes OF the most popular works. The task of
arranging these has delayed the opening much
longer than was at first expected.
The present equipment includes about $500
volumes, 1000 more ere on the order list,
and the commission will buy them
and thousand or more duplicates
as rapidly as the funds will allow. When these
purchases are made the commission will prob
ably limit itself to the most popular new works
until the permanent quarters contemplated by
the city charter are provided.
The accommodations for the library and read
Ing rooms are already found to be too restricted,
ana the commission is considering the desira.
biiity of making other arrangements.
One OF the board said yesterday: awe have
found the confidence reposed in the librarian,
Professor j. s. smoke, to have been more than
justified. Having had many years experience
IN the selection aud purchase of books, and IN
the building and arrangement OF Libraries, he
has proved himself peculiarly adapted TO this
position. Then, too, he possesses executive Gu
paelty OF "a high order, and he has secured an
exceptionally efficient and intelligent corps 1t
assistants, who seem to be filed with his en-
thusiam for the work
These assistants are Mrs. Harnett Miss Mary
Banks, Miss Proper, Miss Henry, Thomas Pirret
and Peter Pirret.
