The Council-men have been informed that, a delega tion would visit them tonight, but were not.

informed exactly what matters would be brought before them. The matter of securing a new city library building has received some atten tion from the Couneilrnen, but they have never reached any derision on the subject, of a new building, because the op-nion prevails that with the city treas ury Ok present condition, it would he unwise to attempt, to erect a new building of the kind ifiat would fittingly house the city's admirable collection of hooka and pamphlets, and provide sufficient room for the library assistants and reading and research rooms If is expected that tonight's delegation will lay before the Couneilrnen some definite plans whereby the funds can bp raised for a new library building without, putting the city to a big outlay of money.
