Carnegie Library.
The contract of the city of Nash
vile with the Carnegie Library pre-
vides that this institution shall be
maintained by the city with an annual
appropriation of $4,000. During the
first year of.my administration del
egation of citizens waited on me in
ne interest of an additional appro-
Driation, believing as they did that
the good to be accomplished justified
the added expense, and | therefore
sanctioned and recommended an ap-
preparation of S12,500. The second
year of my first administration an
other increased appropriation was al
lowed by the honorable City Council,
making an appropriation for this in
stitution for the year 1911 OF $4,000.
I aim gratified at the results obtained
by circulating the books Of the Ii
brary in the various public schools
of the city, and commend the work
