ORDINANCE RELATIVE TO GIFT
An Interesting case touching on Mr.
Andrew Carnegies generous distribu-
ton Of free libraries was recently de-
cided by the Kentucky supreme court
A public library building was offered to
Shelbyville, KY, on the condition that
the city guarantee $1,000 annually for
maintenance OF the library. An ordin-
ance was passed accepting the gift
but this ordinance was held to CONTRA
vene Section 157 of the state constitu-
ton of Kentucky, which provides that
no city shall become indebted in any
manner or for any purpose for an
amount exceeding in any year the in
come and revenue provided for such
year" without the assent of the voters
at an election. The court said: by
this act Of the council it proposes to
bind all subsequent councils to levy
tax sufficient to raise $1,000 to sup
port library. If the council can do
this it can contract other obligations
in advance, and thus entirely defeat
the purpose of the constitutional pro-
vision, which is to require that the
municipal authorities shall not in one
year create obligations beyond the
