“ The club consented to continue its maintenance of the library, thus allowing most of the $2500 given yearly by the city to accumulate towards the building fund. Through the influence of a personal friend Mr. Carnegie gave to the library an additional $5000. The building is now under way, and will probably be ready for occupancy by the 1st of January, 1905. The club has thus gradually grown to its 'present proportions. It now has eleven departments of work, two hundred active members and twenty honorary members. It is a recognized power in the community. ”
