today more full of gratitude for one of
it's leading citizens than does Billings.
The manner in which the library was
given is an interesting story.
The first news of the generous bequest
was made known ON March 10. 1899, when
it was made known that the Billings
family had selected a committee to rep
resent the estate and have charge OF the
erection of the building. This news was
received with universal rejoicing by the
leoi lie Of Billings. Many efforts had been
made to start lbiary. but with little
satlsfaction, and interest soon Jagged in
the work. The committee selected was
composed Of Hon. A. L. Babcock, chair
man, l. D. O'Donnell, Judge James r.
Goss, Judge j. ID. Matheson, secretary
and E. l.. Board,nan.
At the first meeting when the officers
We're elected the following resolution was
also adopted:

tee of the Parmly Billings Memorial Lii
blary, on behalf Of the citizens of the
city of Billings. express their high appre-
citation of the munticent gift from Mr..

affection and the desire to promote the
moral and intellectual advancement of

name of his father, and pledge their ut
most endeavor to carry out the generous
desire of the donor. That this resolution

first meeting of the committee. and that
a copy thereof be sent to Mr.. Frederick

tans the heating plant and fuel room
in the rear and the main part is to be
used for the meetings of the Woman's
Club Of literary gatherings, until such a
time as it Will be needed to enlarge the
library. The first principal floor is the
library proper. Here the ceiling is If
