ASKS NEW LIBRARY
FOR S. f. Citizens
Dr.. Bowerman Urges S10,-
600 Appropriation and Tells
Needs to City Club.

An emergency appropriation of s1o.-
900 for a branch of the Public Library
in the southeast section of the city
was urged last night by the educa-
ton group of the City Club. after
talk by Or. George r. Bowerman,
librarian of the Public Library. who
pointed out to the group that IN cities
of the size of Washington there were
at least nine or ten branches.
The Public Library at present has
only one branch-at Takona Park,
he said. whereas most cities OF this
size have numerous branches. inis
situation exists in spite OF the fact
that the demand for library facilities
Is greater in Washington than per-
haps in any other community IN the
entire country. The people OF Wasn-

DR.. Bowerman explained that If Con-
eress rushed through an appropria-
ton for a site for branch in the
southeast there was good chance
that the Carnegie Corporation would
provide funds for building. 1t might
be possible to obtain as much as
$4,000, he said. but action would
have to be swift or the District
claim to any additional share of the
Carnegie fund would lapse.
