PROVO NEWS NOTES.

Provo. Feb. &C. Z. Loose has re-
turned from southern California, where
he went with Mrs. Loose, who will spend
the winter there.
The city council has decided by the
adoption of a report from the committee
on public grounds and city property to
set apart for a building site for the free
public library a plot of ground on Center
street Immediately east of the federal
building site. The site fronts twenty
eight feet on Center street and extends
back 100 feet. This action was in re-
Spouse to a petition from DR.. F. ". Tay
lor of the free library committee. When
the bill now before the legislature, pro-
viding for permitting the levy of an in
creased library tax, becomes law, as il is
hoped and believed it will the library
committee will obtain sufficient money
from Mr.. Carnegie to erect building
on the site set apart by the city. The
difficulty In the way of getting the money
III the past has been that the law only
permitted one-third of I mill to be levied
for the support of library. Under this
less than $1,000 could be raised each year.
Mr.. Carnegie's plan for the distribution
of library, funds is to give for a build
ing ten times the amount of the annual
appropriation for support of the library.
And he did not think that even $1,000
building was good enough for a city the
size of Provo, which shows that he has
the town sized up better than some of
it's residents. Under the new law 5000
per annum can probably be secured for
mean a $4,000 building. This viii make
very creditable companion structure to
the federal building.
