 Description.

With the exception of minor details, the plans for the new Ives Memorial library, picture of which was shown exclusively in The Journal-Courier of last Saturday were formally approved by the New Haven library board last evening These minor details apply to the arrangement of the delivery room, and are in themselves of slight import ance Last nights meeting was the | third In a week, there being no quorum | at the two preceding ones. With the exception of pr watson L. Phillips, and Andrew Allen, all members were present

 The reference room will be on the main floor and will be connected with the delivery room. The less used books will be kept in the stack rooms, In which rooms provision for 100000 books has been made. The stacks will be ar ranged In six tiers, access being by galleries and elevators
 On the ground floor will be the chil- dren's room which will be entered from Temple street The newspaper room will be on this floor Entrance to this will be from Elm street.
