Carnegie's money is not desired for
San Francisco by DR.. Edward B. Tay-

board. At a meeting of the public
welfare committee of the board of
Supervisors today he protested vigor-

library made in 1901.
s-Mr. Carnegie went to bed one
night" he said, with $3.50, 100000. He

that money? I don't.
"Nothing could be more humiliating
than the spectacle of the city holding
out the hat to Carnegie. The city can
build its own libraries"
