A STATE LIBRARY TRUSTEES MEET Four Members of the New Board Attend a Session at the Palace. - They Maintain Their Right to Ad- minister Affairs of the Institution. A meeting of the new Board of Trus- tees of the State Library was held last evening at the Palace Hotel. bers attending were Jacob Neff of Placer, Frank D. Ryan of Sacramento, Dr. Flint of San Benito and A. B. Lemmon of So- noma. The only absent member was Mr. Lee of Los Angeles, who will attend a meeting to be held at Sacramento at the end of the month. 1t was said last night by one of the at- tending trustees that the selection of a Librarian was not discussed at the ses- sion. There was a general exchange of views as to the policy to be pursued should there be any resistance to the ex- ercise of their powers as a board. It was maintained that the members were elected by the Legislature, as the law requires, and that the board at the proper time should take control of tha library. The sentiment was expressed that opposition to their authority would vanish when all the facts were consid- ered. Should the right of the members of the board be questioned in court or by other proceeding they will meet the issue squarely and resolutely. The sentiment of the meeting was that they would ad- minister the affairs of the library. —_— e ———— Improvements at Stanford.
