For the work remaining to be done, probably
S1175OOO will be required, swelling the total
cost of the building to more than $7,O00,O00.
The architects fees will be an additional
charge of per cent on the total cost of con-
sJructiOn.
The site of the building, at Fifth avenue.
Fortieth and Forty second streets, belonged to
the city and cost the library nothing.
The delay in the construction Of the building
has been occasioned by many things, among
them the difficulty in getting the right kind Of
marble injunctions and official red tape. For
eighteen months after the appointment Of the
architects in charge they were unable to get
the necessary appropriations because the city's
debt limit had been reached. At last, when
financial obstacles had apparently been over
come and the contract for the construction Of
the building had been awarded. actual work
was held up by taxpayers suit. instituted in
behalf of another contractor who had bid
$4,000 less than the successful builders Eight
months elapsed before the injunction, which
followed the institution of this suit, was dis
solved BY the time the contractors were free
to begin. a severe winter had set in, and con-
struction was further hindered
1t was however, when the task Of selecting
the marble for the building began that the most
vexatfous delays came. Carrere & Hastings,
the architects of the library, were determined
that nothing but the best marble OGtainable

for the erection Of the building was made

Of laying the foundations Of the new building

his name as John Dams and his adj
dress as No. 1913 Buchanan-st., is I'M
der arrest in the Central station on
suspicion of having forged check for
s12. Dams presented the check TO
Morris Leach. clothier. at No. 166 Ora
tiot-aye.. Friday forenoon, and asked
him to cash IT, Leach was suspicious
OF the paper, but without letting on
to the boy that he believed the check
worthless asked him TO wait until he
could go out and secure the money on
1t. as he had no change on hand. In
stead Leach went to a branch bank
near by, where the check was pro-
nounced a forgery. Then he went to
police headquarters and got Detective
Juu Lombard. Dams was still waiting
when Leach returned with the officer
and was taken into custody. He
claimed the check had been given to
him by stranger.
