1t is understood that Norway parties
interested in public matters will move
at the annual March meeting for q

surances have been received that Mr..
Carnegie will, upon the usual terms and
conditions, give Norway the library
building. The most important condi-
ton is that the town raise $500 per year
perpetually, for the support and main
tenance ofsthe structure. Norway now
appropriates the sum of four hundred
and fifty dollars annually for the public
library. Under the present arrangement

tax list at any time. Under the Carnegie

the various plans for the improvement
of the public library will, without doubt,
be fully and carefully considered.
