THE COMMITTEES SUGGESTION.
The committee. consisting Of Professor Ware.
OF Columbia University: Dr. John S. Billings,
director OF the library. and Bernard r. Greene,
have suggested a plan for plain three-story
building without exterior characterization. and in
many respects like the public library of
Boston. The readnG-rooms would be the
third floor. which would be reached by stairways
and elevators. unique feature would be the
handling of the books This would be done by
electric lifts. and there would be neither tubes

There will be two competitions. one Of which

those submitted in the first competition will be
selected and their authors will be asked to take

will then be selected by the committee to sub
