The board ded that change of grades on J street, Fifth and Sixth ave- nues on Parnassus Heights would be of public efit and recommended to the Board of Supervisors that the improve- ment be carried out. J. C. McKinstry and T L. Merritf, representing the Sutro estate, unsuccessfully renewed their objections to the change of grades, which they now have to make to the Supervisors. General Manager and erect Engineer for will Chapman of the United Railroads notified the board that the defects in the pavement on Third street between Mission and Ber- ry will receive immediate attention. Chief of Police Wittman reported that a plank sidewalk was laid without a permit on the northeast corner of Stockton and Green streets and that Officers Brodt, Wren, Fowle and Ward were derelict in their duty in not re- porting the same; for which they will appear before the Police Commission on harges of neglect of duty. Commis- sioner Cas thought the property owner who laid the sidewalk should be punished instead of the policemen and he and Commissioner Woodward had a short verbal tilt over the matter. A. Ruef, F. S. Shadburne and F. Ma- rini appeared before the board in sup- of petitions that Dupont street be- tween Vall and Filbert be re- paved. They stated that the pave ment had not been repaired since 186: The board thought it could pave one block at once and if sufficient funds are available the four blocks will be improved. The board took under advisement the petition of the North Central Improve- ment Association that certain blocks paved with cobblestones in the down- port town trict be repaved. Commission- er Casey said that the improvement of the blocks was incorporated in the pro- posed bond issue. Bids for the repaving of Dupont street from California to Sacramento were received from Flinn & Treacy and the Gity Street Improvement Company ompanying the petition is a plat| showing the route of the road, the style the corporation | during the said fiscal vear, with | sisting of Drs. and the contract wil be awarded to- morrow.

It is a well-known though sometimes forgot- ten fact that schools, libraries which assume the name of a | liberal founder fail to receive other do- nations. The Emmanuel Episcopal Church of Nevada City intends to reopen its libra- ry and amusement rooms, established two years ago. Games of many kinds, chess boards and billiard tables afford much interest to the young people of the town. The regular occupation of the rooms will be on Saturday even- ings. Ventura has recently built a new town hall at a cost of $8000. The upper | floor is occupied exclusively by the pub- lic library, having two rooms, each 25x | 48 feet. The front room is used as a reading-room and has files of newspa- pers and magazines, while the rear room contains the books and general equipment of the library.

The Spokane, Wash., Library Board ‘Ware, the architectural expert of Co- plans for the Carnegie library building were referred for his choice. The ap- proved plan calls for a two-story struc- ture of stone and pressed brick, with room on the main floor. The second floor is to contain the newspaper room, the cataloguer’'s room and several others as yet unassigned. The chil. dren’s room is to be in the basement. A distinctive feature of the design is the position of the stack room for the books, which is placed in a wing and i lighted on both sides. This affords th marked advantage of allowing exten- sion when demanded by the growth of the library. In commenting upon one other of the submitted plans, Professor Ware observes of the dome that it is an expensive, feature, which may well be replaced by a skylight. The cost of this building is not to exceed $62,000. “Mutual Helpfuiness” was the theme | of Librarian J. C. Rowell at a recent meeting of the Library Association of California. Specialization was shown to be the need of the librarian of to- day, consequently librarians should freely place their special knowledge at the service of others of the profession. The speaker maintained that in no other profession was such helpfulness more liberally extended. Inter-library loans were commended. The State Uni- versity library borrows books from New England and lends its own vol- umes all over the Pacific Coast. A great central storehouse of books was advocated for the future to prevent un- necessary duplication of works: which are wanted only occasionally, such works to be loaned as wanted through- out its territory.
