rhe Latest Act Supports the Alle
gheny Property Committee.
ADDI'KG TO THE LIBRARY MUDDLE.
Lawyers Advise Keeping the Carnegie Gift
Out of Politics,
TWO COMMISSIONES ARE EECOMMENDED
The ordinance placing the Allegheny
Carnegie library in the hands of the City
Property Committee will be finally disposed
of to-night at the regular meeting of Alle
gheny Councils. It now turns out that the
special legislation secured for Pittsburg, so
as to make it possible to accept Mr. Car
negie's proposed gift, applies to Allegheny
as well. The act of May 23, 18S7, provides
"tht it shall be competent for any incor
porated city within this commonwealth, and
the same is hereby empowered to take and
hold any grant or donation of money, books
and manuscripts or property, real or per
sonal, for the purpose of establishing a free
library within the limits of such corpora
tion, and to make provisions, by annual ap
propriations, for the maintenance of such
free library."
Of course, while this act is in force there
is also authority under which the Board of
School Controllers may maintain a library
of their own, and the logical argument is that
when the controllers have had a library es
tablished for years thev should be allowed a
representation on the board baring charge
of the one.
STJPFOBTED BY TAXES.
The present library was purchased by the
Board of School Controllers and has ever
since been maintained by school taxes
levied and raised by the board. The posi
tion of tbe matter now seems to be that there
is in existence one very good library, and
the disposition on the part of the City Prop
erty Committee is to maintain a second one,
which might result in two insufficient insti
tutions. To maintain both would be a large ex
pense for the taxpayers to meet, as the city
would no doubt be compelled to start theirs
from the beginning. There is no probability,
nor does it appear to be legal for the Board
of Controllers to hand over their library ab
solutely to the city. Since it appears that
both bodies have a legal right by acts of As
sembly to maintain a library, those who
have favored the plan of placing the new
library in the hands of a commission unin
fluenced by politics, argue that there is all
the moi reason that this course should be
adopted, or at least that tbe Board of Con
trollers and City Councils should be equally
represented on tbe commission.
By this means the present library could
be merged into the new. By the creation of
such a commission as Mr. Carnegie has seen
St to suggest, an end would be put to all
controversy, and, it is claimed, the best in
terest of the city would be subserved.
Several attorneys were spoken to yester
day with a view of presenting to The Dis
patch readers the legal status of the mat
ter. W". B. Sogers, Esq., ex-City Solicitor
ot Allegheny, said: "I have an idea that
the man who drew up the act for Pittsburg
had in mind snch a question as is now con
fronting our people. It does not provide
that Councils must take charge of the li
brary. It gives them the power to provide
for the management in any way they see fit,
and my opinion is that it ought to be placed
either in the hands of the Board of Control
lers, because it is an educational enterprise,
or a commission composed of representatives
of all city bodies."
HIS SENSIBLE ADVICE.
SS. A. McClung, Esq., said: "The new
library should be kept clear of politics, and
especially of city politic There is nothing
to prevent the City Property Committee
from taking possession of the building, but
this does not follow tnatthe school con
trollers mnst give up their books. That
places the matter in an awkward position.
One committee would have tbe bnilding.the
other tbe books. I favor tbe original plan."
Colonel "W. A. Stone said: "The gift of
Mr. Carnegie is intended ior a general li
brary, and it ought to be managed without
restrictions. I feel very confident that the
Board of Controllers and Councils will carry
ont the wishes of the people."
Arthur Kennedy, who (ought the ordi
nance before the City Property Committee
so hard, said he thought tie matter would
be amicably settled by the City Property
Committee having charge of the music hall
and the school controllers taking charge of
the library. "The citizens are demanding
some snch a plan," he concluded.
Mr. John S. Lambie said: "I am not a
citizen of Allegheny, but by all means the
educational board of the city should have
charge, as they have already a large library
established. It would be better to main
tain one good library than two poor ones."
The general supposition is that it Coun
cils decide to assume absolute control, the
School Controllers will refuse to give up
their books, valued at about $15,000. This
will place the matter in a more complicated
position, as it brings up the question of
whether the citizens will snbmit to a double
taxation for the support of two institutions.
About two years ago my wife had a Tery
troublesome congb, ot so serious a character
that we all became tery anxious; indeed, it
seemed that we had but little to hope for.as the
lungs were affected. We tried various medi
cines, but very little if any benefit seemed
to be derived from anv of them; so that it
appeared the disease had complete mastery,
and nothing but death would bring relief.
I was then advised to give Dr. D. Jayne's
Expectorant a trial, and doing so, to our
surprise found great benefit from its use.
Persisting with it, she gradually commenced
improving, until the principal symptoms
disappeared' entirely, and she has enjoyed
reasonably good health ever since. John
