Howell, Michigan Pages 050-051 Description An account of the resource Howell Carnegie Library board minutes and ledger entries approved by the board. RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS RELATING TO THE HOWELL FREE PUBLIC LIBRARY AND CARNEGIE LIBRARY BUILDING Jan 31/1903 for presentation to said board provided of course that you first return to us the plans now in your possession. I am very sorry we have no available funds but trust this will be satisfactory. Very respectfully W.H.S. Wood Supervisory, Howell Jan 31/03 Howell, Mich. Jan. 31/03 Also Col. E.E. Myers Architect Dear Sir:- I cannot regard any pay due or to become due on changes of plans made before the plans were accepted, and no changes have been ordered afterwards. Very respectfully yours W.H.S. Wood Supervisor These letters in reply this date to letter filed as above, after several had been received and filed asking for money from this Board, which at no time has had a cut of available Library funds and has already paid him $25.00 by personal advances from its members. The plans had to be returned to him by the clerk for additional blue prints for the contractor which aught to have been furnished on the start, and at this date the plans are still in his hands. W.H.S. Wood Feb. 3 Plans returned from Detroit Article from Livingston Republican published December 3, 1902 LOCAL NEWS CARNEGIE LIBRARY Interview with Supervisory W.H.S. Wood Yes, the contract has been let for the erection of the library building to A.G.Kuehnle of Howell, subject to the filing of bonds, for $9725, and it is to be built of granite 'hard-heads', or boulders, brought here from the arctic mountains years ago, I suppose,in the glacial era. They will be cut and prepared this winter and the building is to be completed by Jan. 1, 1904. The library tax, this year, one mill, produces $2471, which will be for maintenance and expended by the direction of the commission, i.e. for purchase of books, furniture, cost of heating and lighting and pay of janitor and libarian. I am not in favor of high salaries or of importing a librarian. We have plenty of good material right here in Howell and the work will be easy and pleasant. The janitor should be fireman, lawman (the village has the park, you know) and assistance librarian combined and the building should be open from 7 a.m. until 9:30 p.m. A board of six library commissioners should be elected on a non-partisanship basis next spring, and I am in favor of such persons M.J. McPherson,Frank Burt, or Miss Millie Burt, T.B. Knapp, C.G. Jewett, R.R. Smith, F.W. Munson, P.B. Wines, A.M. Wells, Mrs. Henry White, W.H. Gilkes, Mrs. Alfred Warner, E.D Galloway, Mrs. F.J. Lee, A.J. Prindle, G.I.Sargent, L.Smith, T.P. Stowe, L.H. Sullivan, J.C. Walton, John W. Wright, F. Mills and Mrs. Dr. Huntington, or a hundred more I might mention for good business or literary reasons and who have the time or public spirit to give public service without pay. I am in favor of caution, care and economy and simply am too dull myself to comprehend those people who I occasionally meet who, when they get in a public position feel that it's none of peoples business how they conduct it. The people are always entitled to the fullest report about all public business. I would like to see Howell equipped with a nice building and ten thousand books within the next two years. As to books, donations are in order and I will take charge of all books donated during the winter, if marked with name of donor and date of presentation to Howell Free Public Library, and see that they are turned over to the commission in the spring. Every family almost has one or a dozen that it would help others to read and that they have no further use for. Aside from the books to be purchased on history, biography, travel, standard classics, political economy, health and story books a unique ccollection might also be obtained in this way. A thousand dollars will buy from two to four thousand good books, or only four to eight hundred just according to how it is expended. I have the old books. Some are very choice and out of print. I would like to see as full a set of every kind of school books as was ever used handed in. State and national reports are very valuable and while it is not possible to get full sets, I hope to see it as full as may be and shall endeavor to secure them. Anyone having a finance report of 1886 has a right no longer obtainable. Also navy report of 1897-8. In time full sets of encyclopedias will be secured for reference and standard works on every subject. Miss Anna Lonergan has been spoken of most often for librarian though there are others. Bills may be drawn for presentation to the Legislature allowing the people of Genoa, Marion, and Oceola to vote and join us in the use and support of the library. Mr. Barnes has assured me he will push such bills if the people of those towns seem to desire it. Feb 10, 1903 John Davids of Iosco asks for position as masonry Inspector.
