Tailing to hear from the FinanceCommittee concerning funds for ticpurchase of a site, tho Carnegie. Library

Board now appeals directly to the Coun-cil for the desired appropriation.

There is the test of reason to believetho* Finance Committee' Is opposed 'tothe Library scheme; and if tho Cauncilshould request an immediate report, inresponse to the memorial printed be.low, the result would be the return ofthe appropriation measure with an un>favorable • recommendation.IThe effect of the memorial— at least,one of " its effects

—will be to

"show the

public that the.. Carnegie Library Boardhas "gone the length of its rope", and is-not" responsible "for the delay that hasoccurred, •-• . . ,'- .

j Itis stated positively; by & member ofthe City.Council that^ the coporate limitsof the city will:be extended during theyear 1903.

Most of the Councilmen have expressed

themselves. in favor of,annexation and ex-.pansion, and no strong opposition in thecity^'has yet 'developed. There is,- how-ever, some difference, of;opinion as "to theterms Under, which the; outlying districtsshall come into the; city. "While nothing

can be done to give ".immediate relief—the'.cily. being;bound. hand and foot untilthe Legislature meets,. and enacts, somegeneral 'law governing .the acquisition ofnew territory— theiOrdinance Committeenow has this matter.well in.hand and willpresent, the, needs' ;of >the city.before thenext Legislature.

Under the -new .order of:things a reap-portionmeritof: the ;city.propei ty and Jtherepresentation in the;Council necessa-rilywill take place;every .ten. years. Aathe new .Constitution -has this year, gone

into effect, a new division will-take. placeshortly. For;this reason- annexation Ywjlibe.hurried in order ;that- these new districtsshall come. under,; the reapportionment.

Under the'new,- Constitution the -city

government: can give the -property own-ers -in tne "-'newly--',taken

Library Committee, met yesterday after-

noon at the City,Hall. The sub-committ-tee. composed of- Messrs. Robert Whittet,'

jSr., and Dr.' George A. Taber. presented

a' memorial addressed to the Council of

the city of Richmond, urging that body totake some definite action -in providing for

the -construction" of the library, building

and its maintenance. The memorial wasapproved ;by the:board,-. Chairman Bloom-berg: dissenting.-, and will bo forwardedto the Counciu

The:members '. present were • Messrs.Bloomberg. Pollock, Wood, Robert Whit-tet, Sr.,:Robert Whittet, Jr.; Superintend-

ent Fox, and Dr. G. A. Taber.

After'discussing *l'or thirty minutes the

technical, question of;how the memorialshould, be signed, the aboard adjourned. .'.

jir. Bloomberg, who opposed -the adop-

tion of the memorial, made no statement

last night; but at a previous meeting orthe trustees he objected to the appoint

merit of. the EUta-committee- on' the memorial,-on the ground that the board,. being

acreation of the Council, could not, withpropriety, seek, to hurry the parent. body,

and should patiently await oie pleasure

of the Councii.7Some months ago a resolution was pre-

sented in Council, providing for an ap-propriation for the purchase of the iibrarj

.site. This was^reierred to the FinanceCommittee, -/where it has been sleepingever since. '[

Text "of the Memorial.*. ;

The text of the memorial to the Council;adopted last night,' is as follows:To the Honorable Council of the City of

JRichmond: : .'-

Gentlemen,— The trustees of the Carne-gie Public Library most respectfully bringto the attention -of your honorable body

the delay which-has occurred in carry-ing out the provisions of the ordinanceauthorizing the erection of the -Librarybuilding. The -. ordjtaanee appointing thetrustees, to whom {was eonrided the erec-tion and management of the library waspassed December 14, ISOI,, and 'they, hayt-met regularly and performed the duties oftheir -office so- far as permitted by thrordinance, and 'now await the action -ofyour honorable, body on the acceptanceof the site chosen for the proposed build-ing. The delay prevents action on thepart of the trustees in furtherance of theobject forWhich they were appointed andthey would therefore respectfully urgi :your honorable body to take such actionas will enable them to take measures' to- \wards the erection of the buildingat ar iearly'- date. To do so seems necessary,on the one hand from a courteous regardfor the generous donor, as well as, on the ,other, to satisfy the expectations of thecitizens of Richmond, in the matter.

Story of the Acceptance.. .JThe gift of Mr..Carnegie was considered j

and recommended by the Finance'Coi- j

mittc-e on March ;\u25a0 £6, 1901. and formally iaccepted by the Board of. Alderman' by a jvote of 19 to 2, and by the Common Coun- jciT by a vote of 2G to 3, in Apri! following, j

The gift has thus lain inoperative -for ayear and a half; and as the action of the jtrustees is meanwhile stayed in; their,"de- jsire to furnish •.he city what is,sure. to nc- jcome one of the most useful and popular |

institutions- at an expenditure of money jand in a way which the city could- nevernave, -hoped to,attain by any other means,they trust that your honorable body, willpardon the urgency seemingly- implied in

this memorial, and grant their request Tori speedy und favorable action.. '.;'..\u25a0•\u25a0.

j At the aforesaid meeting- of the FinanceICommittee quite!., a number of our beß-

lcitizens- attended] and strongly 'expressed'their approval; while not. a single ob-

I jector was . "present to oppose. It;may

! therefore be -accepted that .the general
