EOR TILE PrBLIC Library.

The bill introduced in the Assembly yesterday
by Mr.. Austin. providing that this city shall
erect and cGuip upon the site Of the Reservoir
in Bryant Park building for the use Of the
New York Public Library at cost not exceed
ing s., 800 600. expresses the final Judgment OF
the trustees representing the Aston. LenOx and
Tilden foundations upon a question which has
closely engaged their attention ever since the
consolidation was effected. They have decided
that it is proper and desirable from public
point Of view that the city should provide a
library building as well as a Site in order that
the income from an unimpaired endowment may
be devoted to the development Of the great In
stitution which they have been instrumental in
calling into existence. 1t Is not impossible that
the proposal for so large an expenditure, coming
at a time Of general depression and of anxiety
with regard to problems involved in the Greater
Network scheme may encounter some opposi-
ton, and opinions on that side Of the case are
entitled to respectful consideration. But we are
convinced that broad view Of the question
will lead to a favorable conclusion
The trustees Of the Library are not in the
position OF persons who have yet to prove their
claims to recognition and their good faith
was rendered to this city, when the difficult task
Of consolidating these foundations was accom-
plshed and that service was not performed
without large sacrifice Of natural feeling and
sentiment 1t was not small thing, for ex-
ample, to consent that Libraries perpetuating
hOnored names and cherished associations should
in great measure lose their identity by being
merged in a greater institution; nor did the
representatives Of the Tilden Trust accept
slight responsibility by the action which they
took. Moreover, in this whole proceeding the
managers have shown that they are governed
by the most liberal and far-seeing purpose. Their
ambition Is to popuarize the Library, to make
it in the fullest sense an agency of general recrea-
ton and enlightenment. ministering to all spir-
itual wants and conditions. and in large de-
gree discharging the functions of a popular uni
versity.
If ii should be said that the Library in obtain
ing from the city free Of cost spacious and val
liable site received enough. a fit answer would
be that the city was to become the chief gamer
by that concession, through the replacement OF
a useless pile of masonry by noble edifice and
the incidental enlargement Of n small public
park Furthermore though the sum which it is
proposed 10 ueNOte 10 lHe COuStTuCllOu anu equip
ment Of library building seems and IS a large
investment, the interest upon ii would not ex-
coed $4,000 a year. and We do not know how
this community could hope to obtain richer
return for such an outlay. 1t has always been
the reproach Of New-YOrk that 1t contained
no library commensurate with its rank and its
requirements. The opportunity to supply this
serious and dlscreditable deficiency has arrived.
and that part Of the burden which the city IS
asked 10 bear Is not too heavy.
