Miami Women Planning
-Four Story Club Building

and loan of nancy from one Of orr
interested club members the present
building was erected and the borrow
ed money has been paid and the prop
erty is free from debt. With the In
creased rom and fine location the IL
brary grew rapidly and the city for
the first time recognized it and gave
the Woman's Club, for the use of the
library, $50 month from the pub
licity fund.
an the meantime Major s Rodman
Smith, who was one of the old clubs
good friends, passed away and left us
legacy in his will. This legacy Is
in property and it not available for
sometime yet but will be valuable
when it is. In March, 1917, when the
present president was elected, it was
her object and aim to enlarge the
building and use the entire lower
floor for the library. But in April
war was declared, which put an end
to building at the time and We have
had to get along with cramped quar-
tiers and limited funds and give all
our extra money and time to patriotic
work.
'Now that the war is ever, we hope
to begin campaign to enlarge our
building and increase the library.
We have the location. The lot we
possess could not be bought today for
100000. BY utilizing all the lot, our
| floor space >will be doubled and we
hope to have four or five stories,
the first for a library, the second a
large auditorium and the third club
and rest room and theother offices
to rent.
"Now if the city Of Miami wants
to encourage good project here Is
one. Or If our wealthy visitors, who
feel the need of library, so very
much want to encourage and help the
workers who have already accom-
plished so much, here is the chance
Last but not least, If the citizens o
Miami, who are SO anxious to hav'

state laws, the Woman's club stands
ready to furnish the site and can Ger

miami Metropolis)

Soon Miami will be pointing out to
visitors a splendid four-story Wom'
ans Club building and public Library,
If the building campaign, announced
today by Mrs. Harvey Jarrett, presi-
dent of the Woman's Club, gets the
backing which most public projects
receive in Miami.
With a legacy of Baltimore dock
property, left the club by the late
Major S. Rodman Smith, which un-
der the terms of the will is not avail
able until 1925, the club has financial
backing but no ready money. Mrs.
Jarrett said that around $4,000 would
be necessary to finance the PROPOSE
ton and she is sure that public-spir-
tied Miamians and visitors will as
sist the club in building up the libra
ry. 1t will be remembered that the
club owns the building site which Is
valued at more than 100000.
According to present plans the
first floors will be devoted entirely
to the library needs, the second floor
will be given over to large auditor
ium, available for public entertain.
ments, the third floor will be devoted
to club and rest room, while offices
will be provided for renters on the
fourth floor.
What he Club Has Done
In her announcement Of the plans
Mrs. Jarrett sets forth acreditable
list of accomplishments of the club
as follows:
"a number Of years ago when the
Woman's Club was in its infancy Il
started library and has through
many viciso'tudes maintained 1t ever
since. It has grown steadily, and thu
object and aim of the Woman's Clul
Is to make it public library SECOND

When the Woman's club had &C
cumulated small building fund, Hen
ry M. Flagler was appealed to for

broad vision he always had, gave tn
