VOTED $1,25O YEARLY FOR
MAINTAINENCE OF LIBRARY
Library Board Is Confident Andrew Carnegie Will Furnish
$4,000 for New Library.-Bids Opened for Drilling
Artesian Well But Layed Over One Week.

At a regular meeting held last
evening, the Bemidji city council
voted the sum of $3.50 per year
for the maintenance of the proposed
new public library building, for the
building of which Andrew Carnegie
has donated the sum of $4,000 and
will, it is expected, within a few
days furnish an additional $4,000,
in order that the building may be
erected according to the plans and
specifications furnished by the archi.
tects. The plans as originally
drawn, which included two large
porches, called for the expenditure
of about 5000, being $4,000 more
than Mr.. Carnegie had donated at
first.
Rev. S. E. P. White, who is a
member of the Bemidji Library
board, recently consulted the archi-
tects, and he stated to the council
last evening, that without the porches
which were intended to be con-
structed on the building, the sum OF
$4,000 would be sufficient to secure
the completion of the library block,
and it would be necessary for the
city council to appropriate the sum
of 81, 25Oper yearf for the maintenance
Of the building in order to secure the
$4,000 from Mr.. Carnegie. The
council had already appropriated
the sum of $1,000 per year and the
additional $3.50 was voted.
Rev. White stated that the money
would soon be forthcoming from Mr..
Carnegie and the work of breaking
ground and beginning the erection
would be commenced as soon as the
money was available for use; and the
building would be completed and
ready for occupancy before fall.
The council passed resolution to
rent the Coliseum, for the sum Of
SIS per month for the use of Com.
pany K. NJ. N. c.. Another resolu.
ton was passed transferring S955.85
