TrE Public Library Board held aspecial meet- ing yesterdny afternoon to take some action on the appropriation for the support of the Livrary during the coming yenr. Tlere were prescnt Messrs.

Some days ago Con- troller Gurney called the attendon of v?a Coun- cil to the fact that the law limited the Lllgmry appropriation 1o one-fifthof a mill on the valu- atlon of property. This year the valuation reuches about $113,000,000, giving to the. Library Fund oply about £33,400,~not enough to support the Library, and the meeting yesterday was calied to consider the matter. A’ speciul com- mittee, consisting of Chairman Onabea, Sr. Loewenthal, Chairman of the Finance Commit- tee, and Librarinn Poole, was appointed to draft 1 bill amendmng the State law, present it to the Legisluture, and urge its passage. Though not embodied in the motion appuinting the Com- Imittee, it was proposed t chauge the law so that the Library appropriation should beone-half in- stead of one-firth of a mill on the valuaden. With this change the approprinton would amount to $58,000, just $2.0.0 more thun one- fifth of A mill on the valustion fo 1872 What has occasioned ail this trouble s the change in the metbod of valuing property, oue-third fn- stead of one-half the cash value being tuken as a basis.

Mason Looms in the chair. THd! object of the meeting Wwas to consider the two bills recently fntroduced Into the State Legis-- lature in the.intcrests of the Cook Coanty militia. There were present Messrs. J. Mason Loomis, George Mason, John BcAuley. C. R. Larrabee, and' Edward Gale, of the Military. Committee; Murrs Nelson, of the Executive Commlttee; Sepator Adams, of the Senato Military Committee; Gen, Pearson,of the House Military Committes: Col. Wi H. Thompson, of the $ixth Infantry; and Col. E. D.Swain and Maj. J. D. Baogs, of. the First Infantry. Some time azo Col. Thompson, of the Sixth Infautry, had the following bill intruduced into the Seunts by Senator Clark, and into the House by Representative Rockwell: & BirLtor an uct to authorize counties of the third class to build armories, and-to levy and assess a tax for the smne, for the militia re- siding in counties of the third cluass. Se0TION 1. Be it enacted, etc., That the countles of the third cluss be and are hereby authorized and empowerod to build armortes for the Stute militls, and to levy and collect in said third-class countles within thig State, at the same time dnd in the same muanncr that all State and county taxes are levied and collected, two mills on a dollar upon -all taxable property lo suid counties, to be set aside us a mifitary fund to build armories In sald counties for the use and maintenance of the Iilinois National Guurd residing in-said third- cluga counties. This bill was referred to the Military Commit- tees in both bruncles of the Legisiature. About the same time it was introduced, Secretary Am- bler, on behaif of the Citizens' Asso¢intion, pre- sented another biil, similar in its pature, but providing for ax angual appropriation’of: about 25,000 fur tne use of the militia. This bill was 2130 referred to'the ,Milltary Committees. The meeclng yesterdny wus held for the purpose of giving the sdvocates of. each bill an op- portunity to express lheir views before the Chairmen of these Committees, and to give thewn suticlent informution ou the subject to enuble them to deaw up a sort of a compro- mise bill with which both sides would be satis- B 2 Col. Thompson made & long and powarful argument in favorof his bill. Hesaid that 4 tuxadon of two milis on the dutlar in this-cuun- ty would amount to about $300.00. Tais would be sutticicot to purchuse armorics forall the commands in Chicago, und these armories would belong to the State, It was Certain that nothing could be lost, 25 It was a goud jnvestment, the value of property Increasing all the time. If the proposed annual appropriation was muds it migpt be’ cut off at Any time, and the militia would bs left without & cent. ‘Whe oblect of the bli was to put the militia of Cook County on a sound tinancial footing. This they deserved, as they had strug- gled along through the last dve yeurs maatully, and.he thought they should be rewarded insome substuntiul way. ‘he gross appropriution of one twentieih of ‘s will ou the dolar on the State property amounted to $75,000, und what the militiu- wanted wus'something excra with which to bulid armories and provide themselves with necessary clothing, 2 Secretary Ambler theu spoke on the merits of his bill. He argued that if an upnaalappropria- ton of something lika' $25,000 could be vbtained it would furnish tho militin with sufliclent money to - pay -armery rent, gus bills, coal Dbills, and “ocideatal . - éxpense: und to lay enough aside tofuri quite & respéc able sinking fund in a few yors. Theu this sfuking fubd could be used for the purcouse of armortes. 1a regard to Col. Tuompson's bill, be thought it referred speclally to Couk Couant and be was ot the opinion t it wua uncoust tutonal, being. a species of specinl leglstution. Inansiver to this Col. Thowpson stuted that, be had provided for countles of the third class; and suid that he did not.think the Attorney- General would declare it unconstitutional. He brd thougbt of that poiut bimself, bud consulted seyerul prominent. lawyers on It, ana’ they.had informed him that his Lill was perfectly consti- tutioual. This reply appeared to sutis{y the Comuwittee on that pofut... Mr. Murry Nelson thought -that the ‘people 11d not stand such.-a' heavy tax as that pro- ‘vided for in Col. Thompson's bill. He wus sure they would give'the militls what was.right, and he declared himself in favor of giving them their dues. A vote.of .the-peaple, he-tuought, would give & fair Idea of- public- opinion on' the i ompson sald that it the question was oflfi - sorilist -evening, the much-praised su ‘p‘}mr was served ‘operation and fine condition, visit H.

The meeting adjourned without any decided acton. 2 It is understood that Gen. Plerson and Senator Clark will druft & new bill providing foran an- nuaf assessment of about S&J,000, und {18 fur- ther stated that Gov. Cullom w'lt ask an appro< priation of $150,00 for the militin. . CHAS. K.
