GET THE LIBRARY
SAYS Mr.. POLLOCK
He Does Not Think the Adverse
Action Of the Council Kills
the Scheme.

At a meeting of the Carnegie Library
Board, held yesterday afternoon at Q
o'clock, an unsuccessful attempt was made
TO adopt= {. resolution requesting the Com.
mon Council to state their reason for ac-
cepting the adverse report OF the Com
mttee on Finance on proposition 20
provide s22,0 600 with which to purchase
site on which to erect the handsome in
stitution, a gift from Andrew Carnegie.
the we'll known steel king and phslan-
stnropist The resolution was offered by
Mr. Pollock.
Following this action the Board adj
journed t. meet again next month. at
which time 1t is probable that similar
resolution will be adopted, and in the
meant me an effort will probably be
made to bring the matter up in the Com
mon Council for reconsidera ton.
The action of the Board In deciding to
meet gain next mont will be leaned with
surprise, as is was generally supposed
that in face of the action Of the Council.
no further effort would be made to revive
the proposition OF Mr.. Carnegie. But Mr..
Gilbert K Pollock. who is most ardent
advocate of the free library scheme, In
tends pushing the fight. and will assume
an aggressive attitude before his fellow
members.
In the meeting yesterday afternoon, Mr..
Pollock said he had heard It rumored that
ne reason thu. Council accepted the re-
port Of the Finance Committee was that
certain members we're of the opinion that
the plan by which it was proposed to
g:vern the institution was not regarded
with favor. He said some We're of the
opinion a Beard of Trustees such as had
been crea ted, would bring the affair into
politics. Mr. Pollock continued by say
ing that If such was the prevailing opin-
ion. he was desirious OF knowing it. and
wished his fellow members on the Board

the members of the body bring up a
measure, the nature of which is not

An ordinance from the Common Coun-
Gil authorizing the Finance Committee
to negotiate a loan of $4,000 with which
to conduct the city government until the
first of year will be passed without de-
bate, and il is prouaDie that# the action
OF the lower body on the report of the
SPECIAL Committee on Rules will be con-
Cured in.

branches ex-of1lce member of the COM

Reeds rules OH parliamentary practice.
and changes the hour Of meeting from Z

LIMITATIONS FOR SALOONS.
There was a persistent rumor afoat
yesterday afternoon to the effect that on
roll-call5a certain member would offer a
resolution calling upon the body to re-
quest the Legislature, which convenes to-
morrow. to amend the city charter SO as
each day at midnight. to remove all
screens and other Instructions and linz
ting the number Of bar to one for each
800 people in the city.
While no one member OF the Board
7on4o state positively that he would IN
troduce the resolution. there seems but
little doubt that such a measure Will be
offered and an attempt to pass 1t with
out reference to a committee. AS re-.
1. a nI.Se., ns;tt 3, De made by the
i1l,or dealers. although 1t is proba BILE
hat they will defer acton until the mat
ter is taken to the Common Council
for concurrence, in the event 1t is adopted
by the Board.
Should both branches adopt the resolu-=
tion and the Legislature amend the char
ter. as requested, the number of saloons
in the city would be reduced by one-half,
and 1t would be a matter of practical
impossibility to state who should and who
should not sell whiskey. unless an excise
board was created to pass upon applica-
ticns.
THE POINT OF ATTACK.
While the liquor men as body will
object to decreas sing the number Of sa-
looms upon the population basis. the most.
bitter fight will be waged against the.
early closing and the removing of screens
and distractions. either or both of which
would seriously interfere with the amount
of business done by saloons. Numbers
of bar men. whose places are located in
certa n sections ofthe city. have no per-
sonal objection to offer against the early
closing. as they now shut up shop long
before midnight. But others are wholly.
dependent. SO they say. upon the late
night and early. morning business for
their profits. All object to removing OBJ
StructionS.
It would seem that inc fight against
this new suggestion will he even more
stubborn than was that against the Cren-
shaw $1,000 license
