BKOJD ACRES AND PLESTI OF TBE1I Proposals for tbe sale of a dew poor farm will be opened on Saturday, January 24. This second round is expected to be suc cessml. Tbe size of the larm is to be any where Jrora 200 to 400 acres. That was the decision reached yesterday by the lioard of Awards. Both the Mayor and Chief Elliot are satisfied. The three chiefs of the departments and Clerk Bingamen h3d been waiting for some little time when Mayor Gonrley entered with a preoccupied air. Bending over Clerk Bingameu he innocently inquired the cause of the meeting and then called the body to order Chief Elliot read the specifications and moved their adoption. Mayor Gourley at once desired to have the paper altered so that the purchase would have to be ap proved by Councils and the Mayor. Chief Elliot said, "That's a matter for the City Attorney to determine," and the matter was dropped for the time, while Chief Brown inquired about the number of acres, since tne specification left that blank. Chief Elliot thought there should not be less than 200, because a small farm could not be worked to advantage 400 acres would be about the right size. The Mayor suggested the acreage run from 200 to 400, and his idea was accepted. The Major on His Own Approval. Then Mr. Gourley insisted that provision be made to have the purchase approved by the Mayor. He said: "In the case of the old farm the Ma or's approval was not necess ary as the land sold was specified and described, but under a recent rulmg of the Court where the property to be purchased was not described and located by the ordinance, the Major's ap pinval was nccetsarj before the Controller could issue a warrant lor the payment of tho purchase motiej I have no pergonal feeling in the matter, but it should be in tbe advertise ment in order to escape any legal difficulties " Mr. Bigelou contended that the specifications were plain enough in that matter. Mr. Elliott Well, put it in then, approved by the Mayor and Councils. "No, no," said the Mayor, M don't want it that way. for if Councils approve and the Mayor does not then tbe matter will need to be settled in the courts. I vioula suggest that it lie w- rded so as to require tbe approval of the purchase by a resolution of Council', so that while I will have to pass on tbe resolutions my disapproval will not affect the purchase so that v e will get into court over it. The Mayor again went on to state the points raed by the court recently, when Controller Morrow refused t pay fur alot mircha-ed for te Jrire Bureau intheThlrty-tiftliward.be-cause tbe Major had not approved the pur chase. At that tune the court decided that when tne purchase of a piece of Ground as authorized by Councils and the ordinance auth orizing the purchase specified the boundaries and tbe exact amount of ground contained in tbe tract, it was not necessary lor Councils to pas upon tbe purchase afterward, though, the Major i-aid. the court had strongly intimated that i. here the boundaries were not specified the purchase should ho approved by Councils and parsed upon liy the Major. Mr. Bigelow said ha was only anxious to have the Ian fullv complied witl and to jvoid any obstacles he mined t" amend by inserting br 1 e-ulution of Councils." as the Major had tucgesred. 'I lie amendment was agreed to, and after fix inglhe date for closing bids at 3 o'clock on the alferuoon of January 21. tbe meetirgwas ad journed. The Mayor afterward expressed great satis faction ii er tbe t-periscatious, and although lie caitiid his po.nt m the limiting of the number of acres and in the matter of the approval of the purchase, did not seem to exult much nvor thetictorj. Ho was glad, also, that liie speci fications rtquued onners of property to bid tlienisclies. thus shotting out speculators from building on land upon which options had been secureu.

Annual Sleeting of tlie Pittsburg Library Association A Decrease In Membership Many New Books Added A Recom mendation to Increase the Number of Technical Works. Theannual meeting of the Pittsburg Li brary Association was held last evening in be Hall. There was a sparse attendance of members and the business executed of a routine nature. The Librarian's report showed an increase in the number of volumes of 1,506, bringing up the total to 23.3S6. The number includes the William Thaw Alcove collection of 1,050 books. Twelve thousand seven hundred and ninety three volumes were drawn from the library during the year. One hundred and forty new members were added dnring the year, but ISO were withdrawn or removed by chango of res idence or death, showing a falling off in mem bership of 46 for the year. Miss tocCram,the librarian, in her report says: "I consider this past year tho most satisfactory in library work- amrp mr connection with the institution. Tbe character of tho books going I out daily to many homes, too agreeable con nection maintained with the various classes in literature, conducted by Miss Kllllkelly. Miss L-ech, Miss McDonald and others, has been a sonrce of gratification, showing, as it does, the increase in the number using tbe library for serious stndv, which is, cf course, tbe really important work of a library such a ours. The good work done by these classes, studying special periods of history, these Tourist,' Journey' and "Query Clubs' is perhaps bet ter known to tho librariau, whose advice and assistance is naturally asked, than to anyone else. Light literature will always bo in de Inand, because people seek amusement and reliet from ihe cares and anxieties of life." Miss McCrurn refers to tho increasing useful ness of the Carnegie Alcove, and remarks on the importance of having scientific and tech nical works up to the latest issue. Mr. Car negie's donation comprised works which were fully up to that time, and now a suggestion has been made to add to the value of the col lection by adding the more recent works. The books in tbe alcove were much used durinc tbe year and highly appreciated. The Treasurer's report shows the expendi tures for tbe year to have been $8,910 30, with a balance of S997 04 in the treasury. In this sura is included the 53.000 invested under the Thaw bequest. The Brewer fund shows a balance on baud of 87bS 94. A Receiver's Report Received. J. F. Scott yesterday filed his account as re ceiver of the firm of J. F. and J. L. Scott.
