PUBLIC LIBRARY
 GROWING CLOSER

At the meeting ot the City Library Committee held at the Governors House last night, 1t was made quite clear that the plan to join forces with the fire department for the erection Of building suitable for both purposes Was steadily growing ln favor. Mrs. McBude, chairman of the committee, was unable to be present, but submit ted a report showing the state of the negotiations. The lot is located at the corner of Fourth ana Main streets, and is generally regarded as one Of the best in the city for both purposes. lt Is believed that the two public en- terprises would help each other in the matter of raising funds, and that sufficient money might be raised for an adequate building during this com ing summer.
 The subcommittee appointed for the purpose of arrangine a series of en- tertainments during the summer re ported promising progress. IL Is more than probable that the committee will present either the Tanning of the Shrew." or the Midsummer Nights Dream" before many weeks. It was unanimously agreed by the commit tee that no books should be purchased or gifts of books received, however, until a building was secured, and pro- vision made for the payment of a li- brarian.
 The meeting of the committee was well attended, ana was one Of the most enthusiastic which has been held. The next meeting will be held the second Tuesday evening in July, at the resi- dence of Mrs. Henry Shattuck.
