Purchase of Corner
Lot For Library
Site Is Announced

Purchase Of the corner lot, Second
and Center streets, as the site for the
Ruth Enlow Library of Garrett
county, was announced this week by
f. f. Rathbun, chailman,of the Coun-
ty Board of Library Trustees. The
price was 100000
An option on the property was
taken several weeks ago when Z. +.
Enlow, of Sebastopol, Calf, who al
ready had contributed $4,000 for the
erection of the library as a memorial
to his daughter, on the adjoining
property site, declared he would add
$4,000 more to his total if arrange
ments could be made to acquire the
corner lot.
The deed was made out last Friday
to the Board of Library Trustees
and the Board of County Commits
sioners, from James CAVITY and his
wife Mr. Rathbun said he did not
know whether or not the dwelling on
the site would be moved to the north
end of the property.
The Board previously had acquired
the Warwick lot adjacent to the
corner for $4,000 and the site now eX-
tends along Second street for 1865
feet, and 1876 feet along Center street.
Cal Grim, Cincinnati, contributed the
money for the purchase of the War
nick lot.
Mr.. Rathbun said funds for the
purchase came as follows $4,000 as
appropriated from the County Com
missioners, $1,000 contributed from
Charles E. Hoye; $4,000 borrowed,
and through consent of Mr.. En.oW
transfer of $4,000 of his gift. How
ever, Mr.. Rathbun said there would
be local solicitation of funds to raise
| the $4,000 to replace the loan from
the building fund, so that the full
amount of $4,000 could be used for
construction purposes. He said a
Maryland architect would be en-
ployed to get definite plans under
way.
Mr.. Rathbun said the Library board
had also asked for a hearing before
the City Council in April to ask for
fund of $500 from the town of Oak
land for the advancement of the
library project.
