Suitable Maintenance.

The effect of merging the two libraries
in line with the suggestion that has been
made is to indicate that while Congress
, mas declared that from 16 to IS per cent
is suitable maintenance. and while we
have been urging that considerably
more than that was suitable, in fact III
per cent constitutes suitable and neceS-
sary maintenance, and that any surplus
of appropriation above that 10 per cent
may reasonably be diverted from the
main library to the Takoma branch Ii
brary or any other branch which may be
created.
Representative Burleson. chairman of
the subcommittee. suggested that the ap-
preparations for the two institutions have
been largely in excess of 10 per cent
of their cost. Mr. Moves explained That
the IL per cent provision has never APP
piled to the main library. He said;
LAS 10 the main library the requirement
was suitable maintenance. With regard
to the main library. this 10 per cent pro-
vision was neither a maximum nor a
minimum condition. In regard to the Ia
koma branch, the 10 per cent provision
was both maximum and minimum
condition. The branch library donation
was entirely separate from the main Ii
brary donation. and was made on the eX-
press condition. quote from MIR. car
negie's letter-"that the city of Washing
ton provides for the maintenance of the
cent of their cost 1t was specific in re-
gard to the branch libraries and separate,
and there was no such provision in regard
To the main library. That Congress
viewed this 10 per cent maintenance con-
dition as separately coupled with the Ia
koma branch is evident from the words of
the law. This law provides that the Ii

tion for such expenses shall not exceed

is complement of what is implied to be
in the law of condition that the main
tenance expenses, which are required to
be provided before the library is opened.
shall be under the Carnegie condition 10
per cent of the building cost. and as the
inevitable result of the provision of the
law and of the acceptance of Carne-
gies maintenance condition. the Takoma
branch library appropriation must it
would seem, be exactly $1,000 per Year.

law; to appropriate less is forbidden by

Provision Knocked Out.

When the bill got into conference the
$4,000 separate provision proposed by the
Senate was Knocked out and the $500 adj
ditional for the main library's contingent
fund which you had proposed was also
dropped. So that the net result of the
conference over the Takoma branch ap-
preparation compromising between some
thing over $1,000 proposed by YOU and
S4.GCo proposed by the Senate was 81 $50
OF course. if the Takoma branch appro-
priation is not going to be made by a
distinct lump allotment of the $1,000; if
the committee concludes that there is
nothing i'll the conditions of the gift or
the obligations to Mr.. Carnegie that i'm
poses upon us as trust the appropria-
ton of that particular amount for that
particular library, and if part is going to
be appropriated separately and specifical-
iy and the rest Is going to be thrown on
the general library appropriation and it's

be some addition to those funds OF the
general library for the use of the Takoma
branch. just as was done or was pro-
posed by this committee to be done in re-
gard 10 the contingent fund last year.
Representative Saunders asked about
the library employees
There are not men enough to do the
work., said MIR. Noyes who further said
that the force is underpaid, but is per-
forming its duties creditably, all things
being considered. Continuing the Takoma
branch subject, he said:
Irrespective of any obligation to An
drew Carnegie. the four-t hOuSand-dolIar
appropriation for the TakOma branch is
demanded in full by the branch library's
absolute. imperative needs. The main
library needs have been such as not to
be met by the main library appropria-
ton, and no drain upon it for branches
can be endured. A table compiled from
letters received by our librarian from the

lie libraries shows that the percentage of

How could we in the light of the con-

amount of $500 presumably for the
benefit of the Takoma branch. That ac-
ton was in line with the theory you have
suggested, that the appropriation that
was named specifically for the Takoma
branch was not necessarily the whole of
the maintenance that had been supplied,
and as far as that 500 went that might
properly be counted as Takoma branch
maintenance. But after the bill got into
the Senate, and the Senate took the
view that it was our duty both in view
of the obligation to Mr.. Carnegie and in
view of the needs of the branch, to

Gifts Are Explained.

Mr. Moves explained that the gifts to
the two libraries We're not made upon
the same conditions He said:
THE donation of the main building was
TO AN existing, active institution. already
created by Congress as the Districts leg
islature, and the condition of maintenance
was not any specific percentage, but only
of suitable maintenance The gift to Ia
koma Park was to a branch library That
had no existence prior to and outside or
Mr.. Carnegie's gift. and il was coupled
with the specific condition that the mu-
nicipality should provide 10 per cent of
tine cost of the building. When the main
building was given to the Washington
Public Library that library was going
concern, already sustained by Congress
in annual appropria tons, of the amounts
which Congress deemed suitable for it's
maintenance. After the building was
given Congress continued 10 make an
nual maintenance appropriations such as
il deemed suitable for the enlarged IL
brary in its new and more spacious home.
NO attention whatever was paid to
any specific III per cent calculation, be-
cause that was not the obligation. In
fact. there never was "a year in which
the appropriation was exactly 10 per cent
of the building cost. For three years, in
Guiding the year in which the main build
ing came into use. the appropriation was
less than 1o per cent, and thereafter the
appropriations have been in increasing
amounts and more than 10 per cent, but
in every year the amount appropriated
had no reference at all to 10 per cent of
the building cost. IL was the amount that
Congress considered suitable for the de-
velopment aud support of supplement
of the public educational system of the
District which i'm return for the appro-
priation was comforting steadily increas-

Kober Defends District Tuber-

RESENTS UNJUST CRITICISM
Points Out That Medal Was Given

ADMITS ALL Is NOT IDEAL
Lack Of Money Proves to Be Great
Handicap, Trustee Tells House
subcommittee.

Complete defense Of the Tuberculosis
Hospital was made by DR.. George NJ.
kOber. vice president of the board of
trustees of the board of charities of the
District Of Columbia, in the hearing be-
fore the subcommittee of the House ap-
preparations committee. of which Repre-
sentative Burleson is chairman.
DR.. KOber gave as his firm conviction
that the attacks which have been made
on the hospital came from some inter-
ested source. He said:
Il want to say. first of all, that this
institution was subjected to more or
less criticism last year. not only in the
public press. but also in an investigation
which was conducted by one Of the sub
committees of the House of Representa-
tives. feel that this criticism was unde-
not been disclosed.
Possible Motives.
II dislike to impugn the motives of any
one. but it seems to me that in the in
terest of the institution all helpful criti-
cism should have been submitted to the
Commissioners or the board of charities
before rushing into the newspapers. You

being one of the few hospitals actually
owned and controlled by the District gov
eminent, was made target for abuse
probably for the purpose of impressing
upon you gentlemen the thought that the
board of charities and the District gov
eminent are wholly incompetent to con-
duct a hospital. At all events, l can
scarcely resist the conclusion that this
agita ton was conducted by at least some
OF the people. not much i'll the interest
of the deserving inmates of the hospital
as in the interest OF institutions that are
always seeking government appropria-
tons.
The institution is under the immediate
