from which to gain new central building.
1t is stated upon reliable authority that
when Mr.. Carnegie was asked to come to
the aid of the library the subject of the
need for a new building was pretty gener-
ally thrashed out. 1t has never been the
great ironmaster's policy in his giving to
provide central Libraries for large cities
He did this in Allegheny, his own city, it
is true, but in New York, Boston, Phila-
delphia and st. Louis. all of which have
benefited handsomely by his donations, his
gifts in general were in the line of estab-
fishing branch libraries.

lively, would not contemplate the giving
by himself of a main library building nor
of large fund for AN addition to the pres
