THE L|BRARYS CREATION
AND ITS IMPORTANCE

ton of the plans has been in the
spirit of the medieval artisans who
built from a sense of devotion
my own has been a labor Of love.
A peoples progressiveness will
be shown by the fostering of their
institutions; their support of these
will prove to be like bread cast up
Oh the waters. The pride of the
foremost cities of earth centers In
their libraries and this observation
applies to America as much as to
Europe The city of Boston is
proud of CopleY Square; Trinity
Church has Istly added to her
fame; but the particular gem in
her crown is that MASTERY iece of
architecture-the Boston Public
Library, on which the City has
lavished its wealth of gold and OF
genius, making it fitting home
for books, those emanaGions of the
brains of immortals. Cities great
and cities small have all built libra
ries, thus giving recognition to the
immense value arising from as
ISOLATION with the choice minds
embalmed in books, teachers ever
ready, untirlng, approachable, who
freely bestow knowledge and lead
the way to wisdom.

which one knows and that which
one knows where to find" One
capable thinker has replied to the

with the rejoinder that he did not
need to read books; that he bad the
stuff books were made of. Now
1t is true books cannot provide
brains, but to deny oneself the use
of books is to refuse to use the
great stimulant to thought growth,
denying to the brain the fertilizing
contact that induces growth be-
yond the stature outlined and

of our daily work; but when one is

The Leader Enterprise:

The Enterprise:
The happy issue of the venture
to obtain a Public Library is the
result of concerted effort with
your splendid women in the initial
role. l take pleasure in acknowI-
edglng my Indebtedness to the
Woman's Club Committee for help
ing suggestions in formulating the
plans.
The Carnegie Corporation of
New York has definite schemes of
the general form these libraries
should take, and in the present in
stance it became the architects
duty to meet their requirements
as well as those Of the Building
Committee and the Library Com
mittee from the Woman's Club:
wherefore the first set of pencil
drawings, acceptable to Fitzger-
ald's representatives proved IN
acceptable to the Carnegie Corpo-
ration. A second set was made
and these were successful prov
ing about as satisfactory to the
two home committees as the first
set, and receiving the approval
and commentator as we'll of Mr..
James Bertran, Secretary of the
Carnegie Corporation. 1t should
be understood that the Carnegie
Corporation mas it's ideals, and Mr..
Bertram has been called the watch
dog of the great library fund, be-
cause of diligent oversight of and
keen insight into the plans offered
for adoption, sensing promptly any
intent of an architect to depart
from the one real purpose of Mr..
Carnegie's gift, namely. that to
build a library, an efficient, eco
nomical place for books and rea-
ders, and one requiring the mini
mum expense in care-taking.
The Fitzgerald Building is a de-
partment from the usual scheme
recognized and permitted by Mr..
Bertram largely through the in
terest that Mrs. Perciual Sneed
created in conditions in this part
of the country. 1t is likely the
departure from the standards in
this building will draw attention
and its value be weighed and posi-
bly, new type be created. From
the viewpoint of the artist and the
builder it may be said that you
have the best results that it was
possible to obtain with the appro-
priation. All the materials incor-
porated into the building and all
work done thereon have been of
the best available, while tle execu-

The result of the strike in the long
| run was to completely break up the
! ItaukbuildcTs union SO far as work i'm
Tie Oklahoma oil fields was con-
Ccrned. Whether or not the work
men were in the right i'm going ON
/ the strike, the ultimate result was not
what they desired The amount Of
a days work remained the same, 1t is
understood, as did also the amount
! Of d DAYS We ges, but the union was
10 Longer recognized This is still
true at the present time i'm this state,
81 is understood, for WOrkmeu now
employed in building the extensive
tank farms i'm the Hcaldton field de-
clare that there is 20 union among
them.
The amount of money paid out for
labor il building the big tank farms
in this field reached mammoth
sum. one contracting firm with a
contract to build As $4,000 steel tanks
northwest Of Shamrock had n pay
roll every two weeks amounting to
$4,000. At the same ratio to build
the 700 tanks of that size in this field
would have required a scmi-mOnthly
payroll of 100000.
The cost Of a 55,O0O-barcl steel
tank i'm this field was close to $14.-
LGO, of which $4,000 was for labor
and teaming IT is estimated that the
total amount paid out for labor on
the construction of the zoo tanks was
fully $2,OCO,00O, while the total cost
Of the tanks was nearly $lO0O0.OO0.
That the building of the tanks paid
an enormous profit is now demon
strated with oil now quoted at 81 n
barrel. If the oil placed in storage
during the low market price brought
the quoted price of 40 cents a barrel
tile men who stored it would make
6O cents a barrel by this time. Ii is
Cstir iated that 45.0O0.O0O barrels
v,.. stored in this field. and a profit
Of 90 cents a barrel would mean S21,-
0OO. 600.
II IS a fact however, that much of
the stored O.. was bought from pro-
ducers at rJm 20 to 80 cents a bar
rel. and at the present time If a tank
Of oil cu nges hands it is at $1.2j to
81 40 q barrel including the tanks,
instead of 81, the quoted market
price. The cost of storing oil is all
wlys estimated 10 be about 20 cents
barrel oil now selling at Sl.4O is
reoily S1.15 for the oil itself or
Trofit or increase Of SO cents a bar
el on crude that was stored at 30
cents
with the 700 tanks costing approx
imatcly S1O,O0O.0OO. and the increase
in the value Of the stored oil amount
ing TO $4,000, 900. the net profit to
the men who stored il would total
SlGOOO.000. This estimate Of in.
crease or profit is extremely low. ass
much of the oil was stored, as already
shown, at about 80 cents a barrel in
