Another mnttor to come up to night will probnbly be a request from tho Marsbfleld public library committee ns to what tho city coun cil desires about n Carnegie library building'. Tlio members of tho com mittee bavo conferred with most of tho city olllclals and many of the business men and find an almost unanimous sentiment In favor of It. However, the majority of those con sulted Insisted that instead of a $15,000 building. Marsbfleld should have an $lS,0no or $20,000 build ing or even better. TIiIb would nec essitate tlie city raising $1S00 or $2000 a year for its maintenance but this would bo lees than a one mill levy. Tho council tonight will jirobnbly decide the matter. Other .Matter. It Is expected that tho .South Fourth street matter, tho opening of a thoroughfare through tho race track, will also como up. Several other street improvement matters will also como up.
