Contractors Have Notified the Archt-
tect to Come and Receive 1t.
The library building, which has
been made a gift to Dawson by Mr.
Andrew Carnegie, has been complet-
ed and the contractors, Messrs.
Shields & Geise, have notified the
architect in New York and requested
that he come and receive it. He is
expected in the city in the next few
days. 4
The building cost $4,000, is ad-
mirably arranged for the purpose for
which it has been erected, and pre-
SCENTS an attractive appearance. One
of the conditions upon which Mr..
Carnegie gave the money for its erec-
ton is that the city council appropri-
ate a sufficient sum annually for its
proper support.
That Dawson has a modern build
ing and one of the best equipped
libraries to be found in any of the
smaller cities of the state is due to
the public spirited women of the
city.
