idea that block 73. where 1t had al

now that a. great fire had swept the
city and made possible an advantage
for a better ard more attractive site
He was of the opinion that the main

that the matter was one for careful
consideration By the law COMMITTEES or
the library trustees, and they viii be
asked TO report what obstacles. II any.
there would be to changing the present

make what recommendation 1t deems
best in connection with this important

Announcement was made before the
meeting closed that the library force
had been greatly reduced and that tha
payroll would henceforth amount to
5000 per week instead OF $500. as for
