PARNELL TOO AMBITIOUS
ME- CARNEGIE'S OPINION. SEESS ASSOCIATION. AUCKLAND, November 1. Apparently Mr Carnegie is of opinion that Parnell is too ambitious as far as tho erection of tho free library, for which it ia proposed he shall find the funds, is concerned. Last August plana of a building to cost .£SOOO were sent to him. At to-night’s meeting of the Parnell Council a letter was received from Mr Carnegie’s private secretary expressing the opinion that it should not take more than half of -£SOOO to erect a suitable free public library for a place with 6700 inhabitants. Hs suggested less elaborate plans,, saying that a building in pood taste and with adequate accommodation ought to bo put up for just half the sum that Parnell wanted Hr 1 Carnegie to provide.
