State Capital Notes
Board Selects A Site.
The Carnegie Library Board met
the first of the week and selected as
a site for the proposed new library
building, three lots at the southwest
corner of Seventh and Louisiana
streets, and the dreams of the public
spirited and the literary inclined citi
zens of the capital city, in which
loomed ap a handsome and commo

yet been made but it is expected that i
Edward L. Tipton of New York, the
architect who has designed many of
the Carnegie libraries throughout the
country, will be here within a few

that he had been to St. Loui- for sev

gave r>e to the natural query. "Why
isn't there a librarc in Little Rock?”
Suffice it to say that before the gen
tlemen separated after their luncheon,
they agreed to propose the question
to a number of other business and
; r •?* .-sional men if the city. Some
time lat- r there was another lunch- !

Before it was over they had sub
