The city council, at its regular meeting last night, unantmous- ly adopted resalutions as follows “Whereas, The public Hbrary of the city of Seattle, an insti- tution which @ very dear to the hearts of the people, and whose influence is recognized by them as most powerful for the good of the community, was on the night of Jan. 1 destroyed by fire; and, “Whereas, although an unfaltering loyalty to the Hbrary has always provided generously for its maintenance during the first decade of its existence, the financtat stringencies of that pertod and the comparative newness of our city have thus far prevent- ed any possibility of the construction of a library by the city or by any citizens, and have rendered it unlikely that provision could for a long time to come be made for such a bullding as the insti- tution deserved ind 4s the people had hoped to see provided; and, “Whereas, Hon. Andrew Catnegie, in pursuance of his well- Anown and wholesome generosity to his fellow countrymen, has offered to this city the gift of « library ballding to cost $200,000, on his customary conditions of ‘ite being furnished by the city and & guarantee of suitable maintenance for the library; now, there- fore be it “Resolved, By the city council of the city of Seattle, that the city accept t plendid gift of Mr. Carnegie upon the conditions he has proposed; and, be it further “Resolved, That this city honors itself in accepting the gift of such a giver who has set an example for all time to the possessor of wealth of the proper distribution of wealth; and, be it further “Resolved, That this city extends to Mr. Carnegie unstinted thanks for this, the greatest benefaction that it could possibly re- ceive at his hands, atl the more grateful because rendered tn this hour of its calamity; and. be it further “Resolved, That a copy of this resolution, suitably engross- e4, he presented to Mr. Carnegie, together with this council's as- gurences of its great esteem and of the lasting gratitude of t people of Seattle ‘The chamber of commerce assembly room was crowdede yes- terday afternoon at 2: o’¢lock, when the special meeting was called to order. Among those present were the most prominent business men of S¢attle. Though extra chairs had been provid- ed, many had to etand, and some could scarcely get into the ball. All were imbued with a spirit of hearty apprectation of Mr. Car- Regie’s generosity and enthusiasm over the benefit to Seattle cer- tain to result, President Clise, of the chamber, in calling the meeting to or- der. explained that the purpote was to give public expression to the satisfaction of the people over the gift and the bright pros- pects for the new Wbtary. He called apon W. Smith, public Nbrarian, as one qualified by cxperience to realize the extent of the elty’s goed fortune. Mr. Smith began by congratulating Seattle on the events of the last few days, saying that to insure the erection of a fine public Mbrary and a great battle-shipbuilding plant was a good omen for the new century. He pointed out that Seattle had been particularly well recognized by Mr. Carnegie. Of the many cities to which the philanthropist has given public tnatitutions, only eight have received more than Seattle. These are Edinburgh, the capital of his native country; Washington, the capital of his ad- opted country, and six towns in Pennsylvania, the locations of bis great industries. Each of th cities got $250,000. Seattle, the city to which he Is @ comparative stranger, got $200,000." ‘The speaker who followed testified to the appreciation of the people of Seattle. The practica! gain to the city in having « fine brary building and «© great library were dwelt upon, and the importance of the tmstitution as an edurational factor pointed out. It wap felt that the library movement was the complement of the great activity of Seattle In commerce and industries, meet- ing wants created by Seattle's splendid growth and aiding in the accomplishment of Seattle's destiny to become one of the great cities of the world. Mr. Carnegie, as the man who has hastened the acquirement of @ metropolitan Mbrary, was warmly praised by all. His of dixposing of his wealth for the benefit of the public w gised. Tho business men also expressed their pride in the fact that Seattle's bright future was #0 quickly and effectually renliz- ed by a man who had accymulated millions by the possession of the ability to estimate !ndustria! situations and forecast commer- cial changes, The expressions of appreciations for Mr. Carnegte’s generos- ity and his edmpliment to Seattle were recetved by the audience of business men with warm applause The resolutions were ad- opted enthusiastically and ordered sent to Mr. Carnegie by telegraph.
