MEETING OF THE CARNEGIE
LIBRARY BOARD

The Carnegie Library board met
Monday afternoon in the city hall.
Mr.. Hunter. president of the city
council and a member of the Carne-
gle board, showed one of number of
drawings that will be submitted later
on from which the board will be call
ed upon tomake a selection for the
Carnegie library building. The draw
ing Is a very beautiful one and was
very greatly admired.
Mr.. J. d. Rooney and Mr.. J. ]. Gerig
were present representing the Ocala
Library association and said that if
given time the library association
would present plans which they be-
lieved would be acceptable to the
board, to the council and all concern
ed.
To test the sentiment of the board
a tentative vote was taken and it was
unanimous for the civic center as out
lined by the city council and the
drawing presented by Mr.. Hunter or
something similar to it, so unless the
Ocala Library association has
something very vastly superior to Of
fer il is a foregone conclusion that
the civic center plan will be approved
and the design presented or some
thing similar to it will be adopted.
The drawing may be seen in the
city council chamber and it is the
general wish of the Carnegie board
and the city council that all tax pay
ers and others whether tax payers or
not will examine the drawings and
pass their judgment upon the same.
In our judgment. in the matter of
municipal buildings it will put Ocala
in a class by itself

OUR NEW ASSISTANT STATE AU-
DITOR

Governor Park Trammell has ap-
pointed Honorable r. A. Gray of
Gadsden county as assistant state au-
ditor to succeed the late Honorable
Henry Curtis.
Mr.. Gray is man we'll qualified
and splendidly equipped for the po-
sition to which he has been appoint
ed. He is an experienced bookkeep-
er and expert accountant. He is a
man Of excellent education, having
graduated at the. South Florida Mill
tary Institute some years ago. For
number of years he taught school
and now holds life first grade GER
tificate. He represented Gadsden coun-
ty in the legislature in 1911, and was
one of the leading members of the
house during that session. For the
past two years he has been the secre-
tary of the State Pension Board, and
the head clerk of the Pension Depart
ment in the State Comptroller's office.
Prior to that time he was for about
one year in charge of the Insurance
Department of the State Treasurer's
office. For several years he resided
in Suwanee county and was book
keeper and secretary of the Live Oak
Publishing Company, but for the past
seven or eight years he taught school
and also edited the Havana News.
Mr.. Gray began teaching school
when boy of only fifteen or sixteen
years of age, has since worked his
own way in life and he deserves
great credit for the success he has
made. In selecting Mr.. Gray for this
important position Governor Tram
NELL did not only appoint a most ex-
cellent man and one thoroughly quail
flied for the place, but he also select
ed a person who has for many years
been a very loyal and active friend of
the governors. Mr.. Gray was one of
his. strong supporters when a candi-
date for attorney general, and was
also outspoken for him when he was
an aspirant for the governorship.
