 Library Work.
 Preliminary work for the building of the Carnegie library is progressing well and the several special committees and the main committee headed by Mayor Sul- hvan all report very satisfactory work in their several departments of the work.
 The plans for the building are now be- ing drawn by the architect, and those WHO nave Secn IHtIl say the building will be one of the handsomest and most convenient of the kind in the country for the price. The general plan and arrange ment of other similar institutions have been studied carefully in laying the plans for the Bessemer library and the aim of those interested is to improve on all the plans that have been investi- gated.
 Mayor Sullivan, chairman of the library commission is taking considerable per sonal interest in the institution and will possibly call a meeting next week when the plans now being drawn will be sub mitted for inspection and approval.
 As soon as the plans have been adopted the contract will be let and the work of construction begun as soon as possible It is hoped that the building will be ready for occupancy early in the coming fall.
 As soon as the preliminary work is completed and the contract let the com mittees on books and furniture for the library will begin the work of collecting funds for the purpose of purchasing books and furnishings.
