PEOPLE'S FREE LIBRARY, THE .- This institu- tion,which is just going into practical operation, was provided for in the Act passed by the Legislature of 1877-8, authorizing the creation and maintenance of free libraries, and empowering the Supervisors to levy a tax of not exceeding one mill on the dollar for
their support. This provision in the city of San Francisco would permit of appropriations to the amount of $250,000 annually, but in view of the bur- den of the already large rate of taxation, the appro- priation for the fiscal year was fixed at $24,000. In view of the law preventing the use of more than one- twelfth of the municipal appropriations in each month, the Directors have deferred action until, by the accumulation of the monthly amounts, they conld undertake the work in a manner which would in- stantly place it in a position of respectability as to numbers in books and appointments. At the date of this publication, Pacific Hall, which has been leased, is being rapidly fitted up, and the Directors have al- ready decided to purchase at once $15,000 worth of books, the remaining $9,000 being devoted to fitting up and support for the balance of the fiscal year.
