NEW BINDING PLANT
FOR PUBLIC LIBRARY

Among the many improvements that
have lately been introduced IN the Car
negie Library by the new librarian
George s. BOWeTman. IS a new and mod
ern plant for the binding Of books and
magazines belonging TO the institution.
The machinery OF the new plant has
been installed in the basement Of the
library. but the tools without which the
machinery is useless. have not arrived
as yet. but are expected to put in an
appearance as soon as the mechanism
Of the District Government can be got
ten into motion
The plant will be operated by the
binder who I'm the past has done the
binding for the library. He Will enter
into contract by which he is bound
10 furnish all the material and labor
and shoulder all the responsibility.
The objection TO the old way Of sonl-
ing the books 20 the binder IS that his
plant is installed in a wooden building
with no protection against fire. and on
that account there has been a tendency
20 let the more valuable books go IN
bound rather than subject them 10 the
risk Of loss by FIRE.
