Carnegie and Libraries.
AN INVERCARGILL APPLICATION REFUSED. (Per Press Association.) INVERCARGILL, March 1.7. The Invercargill Borough Council recently asked for the assistance of Mr Andrew Carnegie towards the creation of a free public library here. Mr Carnegie replies as follows : [ "Yours of Nov. 27 received. Invercargill has a library building with ample funds, both in the main supplied by the public, and Mr Carnegie does not see any practical dilliculty in the way of making it alive public library without any assistance from him or anybody else." The institution to which Mr Carnegie refers is the Athenaeum, which is endowed with Crown lands and sites in the town ; but to which admission is by subscription, and it is not availed of to the extent that the population of the place would indicate.
