III, Title ", OF the Political Code, re-
hating to the duties and appointment
OF State Library Trustees, was taken
up. The bill. upon the expiration Of
the terms Of the present Trustees, pro-
vides that the Governor shall appoint
their successors without the consent Of
the joint Assembly, as at the present
time.
Subdivision 2 Of Section 2 of the bill
providing that the Trustees shah make
provision for the ;oaning of books, with
such guarantee for their return, as the
board might deem proper" had met
with disaster when before the commit
| tee, and its amendment, striking out
the whole OF the subdivision, came up
for discussion.
Bulla and Simpson opposed the adop-
! ton of the amendment, holding that
| to confine SO magnificent a collection
of books to favored few was not sub
serving the best interests OF the people.
| Doty favored the amendment, con-
tending that if books of reference were
allowed to becomes scattered they would
no longer be of value as such. He said
I that while he had at first been favor
ably impressed by the arguments pre-
scented by w. H. Mills before the con-
vention of library associations held in
| this city last fall he had since become
convinced that it was wrong, and that
| to make a circulating library out OF
the State Library would seriously i'm
pair it's value as a. library OF reference,
and the ends for which it had been
built up could not be maintained.
Simpson opposed the committee
amendment and Shortridge favored it.
Tht latter thought it would be unsafe
and unwise to throw open the doors OF
| the library to the people, even though
the people own the library.
| Bulla made strong argument
against the amendment, contending
that so vast source of information
and education is of little use if the
4 doors are closed to- the people. He did
not favor dispensing the States funds
flor such monuments monument that
could be admired only at g. distance.
He called attention to the statute gov
erning the matter, and providing that
only State officers and members of the
Legislature might take out books.
Bulla said he could see no reason
why the teachers of the schools of the
State Qf they were teachersV should de-
mand that all the books in the State
Library be locked up. He thought the
amendment might be all right, in SO far
as it applied to Senator Shortridge or
other people with money to spend and
time to spare, but busy men, living in
distant parts of the State, could not
visit Sacramento for the purpose Of de-

y, herefor. Radcliff, who introduced
fa sIss ,iln, was before the committee, also
Marsden Manson who is deeply inter-
, ested in the whole matter, and has
made an exhaustive study of the prog
ress of scientific research in that line.
There appeared, however, strangely
enough a considerable opposition from
the Weather Bureau ait Washington,
to ]. A. Barwick, the weather observer
here, instructing him to lay before the
committee his objections to- any assist
ance by this State in his researches and
his assurance that none is needed.
This officer, Willis L. Moore, gave NO
reasons why this State. to which the
possible results of such researches are
vital, should not assist with her money
and with the labors of her own scien-
lists under the direction of her great
university in the Investigations claim
ed to be in progress, nor why she should
not pursue such Investigations inde-
pendent if she SO elects. It is probable
that the committee will report adverse
ly on the bin to-day.
TO MAKE NEW COUNTIES.
According to Assemblyman Burnett
this State is at present in a position
wealth to create new counties should
such be her wish. Formerly the setting
apart Of a new county required spe-
cial enactment by the Legislature, and,
in each instance, the difficulties were
great as well as the. opposition. Some
six years ago a constitutional amend
ment was adopted forbidding such spe-
ciaa legislation, but empowering the
Legislature to enact a general law I'M
der which all future counties should be
added. The Legislature, however, has
never awaited itself of the permission.
and so1he matter stands. Burnett's A.
B. 567, introduced yesterday, is intend
ed to provide the complete method and
machinery for carving out brand new
| counties as they may be desired.
FOR COTTON HALL.
Felitz Of Monterey states that the peo-
pie of that city, desiring to preserve in
perpetuity the ancient building, Cotton
Hall, which served as the first Capitol
of this State, will gladly donate it, with
the land on which it stands to the State.
The gift would be worth several thous-
and dollars, and, up to this time Monte
rey has kept the old place in fair con-
dition, but Feliz claims the citizens feel
their inability to do this longer, and
he has, therefore, introduced A. B. 566
to provide for the acquisition and man
agement of the property by the State,
and asking an appropriation of $4,000
to keep it up.
