CARNEGIE REPRESENTATIVE’S VISIT. Per Press Association. AUCKLAND, April 20. Mr Ralph Munn, a director of the Carnegie Library at Pittsburg, arrived to-day to make a survey of New Zealand’s library system on behalf of the Carnegie Corporation at the request of the Libraries’ Association of New Zealand. Mr Munn said the late Mr Andrew Carnegie left ‘10,000,000 dollars to be spent in the British Dominions.
