NEW PUBLIC LIBRARY.
The Commission I'm Conference With
the Architects.

The Washington Public Library commits
sion spent an hour or more yesterday with
Messrs. Ackerman and Ross of New York,
whose design for the new library building,
which Is to be erected on Mount Vernon
Square with the sum of 100000 donated by
Mr.. Andrew Carnegie. in discussing the ac-
cepted design. AS explained in The Star
Messrs. Ackerman and Ross are required
by the rules governing the competition to
hold themselves in readiness to re-study
and modify the plan, in details in confor-
nifty with the wishes of the commission. 1t
was for the purpose of enabling the archi-
tects to ascertain the wishes of the COM
mission in the matter that the conference
was held with them.
The accepted design, explained by Mr.
Ackerman OF the successful firm. is of the
French Renaissance style of architecture
the side lines of the building being plain
While the front elevation is beautitled by
either columns or groups of statuary. The
building will be two stories in height. with
basement, and it is understood TO be the
hope of the commission to have the ex-
terror walls of white marble. While it Is
belleved that the general features of the
design presented by the New York frm will
be retained in the plan which it will sub
NIT to the commission as n result CT a re-
study and modification of the original plan.
II is said the changes suggested by the COM
mission are only those which will permit
the construction of the building with the
amount available for the purpose
Messrs Ackerman and Ross left for New
York last evening. They promised the com
mission to at once enter upon the task of
re-studying and modifying the design in
conformity with the expressed wishes OF
the commission. In re-studying and max
ing the consequent moditicat ton of the orig
maj design, 1t is expected that the archi-
tects will investigate the relative cost of
different materials, SO as to be enabled to
fully inform the commission in the matter
when the modified design is ready for SUBJ
MISSION 1t may, therefore, transpire that
the commission may deem it desirable 10
use some other light stone than marble
But the commission is assured that with
the assistance of SO able and Accomplished
a nrm OF architects it will be quite possible
to secure the erection of a building yJfth the
funds available that will he not only an
Ideal library in every respect, but also a
structure which will be beautiful addition
