DONOR OF LIBRARY
FUND ANNOUNCED
/. ]. Todd, War Veteran,
/. Pledged $4,000 Toward
Public Institution.
RECALLS CARNEGIE OFFER
City Declined Proposal in 1904.
Financial Condition Now
Stronger.
RECALLS CARNEGIE OFFER

The added impetus that was given
to the project for the erection of n
| pubic library for the city, when Mayor
lilcharuson announced at the civic
meeting Tuesday night that an un-
known oencfactor had volunteered to
contribute $4,000 for this purpose, was
further strengthened yesterday when
1t was learned that T. ]. Todd. OF this
city. was responsible for the offer.
, While 1t was MIR. Todd's choice to ro.
main in the background. Mayor Rich
ardSon, feeling the public interest
| aroused by the announcement, gave
out his name.
The offer cNacts no conditions other
than the bare assurance that the
money shall DO expended in the con-
struction of building to be used as
a free public circulating library"
Mr.. Todd and Mayor Richardson fousht
side by side in the War Between tho
States and were messmates, and the
generous offer of the former comes
quite as much as a tribute to life
ions friendship as from u real desire
to help supply badly needed public
service.
Mr.. Richardson. when asked yester-
day for an expression of his opinion
as to the best location for public
library, said that he had not had time
" SiNS tlie iIlulIGE Dul
thought that IT should be located
preferably in the central part of the
city ana off the car lines. Grace
Street, between the City Hall and Bel
videre, he thought. would be suit
able location.
The Carnegie Offer.
In connection with the agitation
now again aroused, ii Is recalled that
Andrew Carnegie, in 1904, offered to
build Richmond a 100000 library pro-
vldcd the city appropriated 10 per
cent. of that amount annually to its
upkeep. At that time the city fathers
felt that the town could not assume
so large n Responsibilities. Supported
by large increases in population and
property values, public opinion, IL is
believed. has steadily grown in favor
of the erection of public library in
keeping with the Importance and po-
sition of the city.
The state Library, IN it's special field
mainly OF reference, performs At pres
cnt under difficulties the functions de-
irandcd of u popular institution. Many
restrictions operate TO prevent tho
greatest usefulness among the. people
which il is most desirable TO reach.
Compared with other cities OF its size.
Richmond is to-day practically with
out popular library facilities, with the
sole exception of a small quRsi-public
institution operating OH subscription
basis.
