Board Selects A Site.

The Carnegie Library Board met the first of the week and selected as site for the proposed new library building, three lots at the southwest corner of Seventh and Louisiana streets, and the dreams of the public spirited and the literary inclined citi- zens of the capital city, in which dious public library, are about to be realized. No definite plans have as yet been made but it is expected that Edward l.. Tipton of New York, the architect who has designed many of the Carnegie libraries throughout the country, will be here within a few days, and commence work on the plans at once. The ligrary project was broached about year ago and Tn quiet way that gave no presage Of the present splendid realization. H. F. Auten, Mayor Lemon and T. M. Mehaffy were at luncheon when the latter gentleman casually mentioned that he had been to St. Louis for sev- eral days gathering information from one of the libraries in that city. This gave rise to the natural query, "Why isn't there library in Little Rock" Suffice it to say that before the gen. tlemen separated after their luncheon, they agreed to propose the question to number of other business and professional men of the city. Some time later there was another lunch con- at which some 15 citizens sat. Before it was over they had sub- scribed over $6,000 toward a library. A Library Committee was then appoint ed, with H. F. Auten as chairman, and within a few days they had raised over S20,000 as a public subscription. Following the appointment of the board, negotiations were carried on with Andrew Carnegie which finally resulted in the securing of dona- tion of $SS1 100 for the building alone.
