"In the matter of general literature
and fiction the library is fairly well
supplied at present, and good portion
of the money we will eXpend during

rection of bringing the Industrial and

I'VE already have the nucleus of a
medical library remarked Mr.. Carr,
pointing to the Throop collection in
the gallery. (Which may develop into a

What are your plans for extending
the work of the library?' asked the re-
porter.
"Well, as to that, ! would like to see
a distributing agency connected with
the library located in Green Ridge
Providence. Hyde Park and the South
Side, but such additions would increase
the expense of the library about $1,000,
and as the city has many increased
appropriations to meet this year we
made no request in our estimate to
councils for money to extend the work
of the library in the matter of estab-
fishing these distributing agencies"
