. Metallic book stacks and furniture for libraries; metallic filing devices and furniture for vaults and offices. l work ofthe same type in the future are obviously important considerations. Librarians will find it advantageous to procure and put on file plans showingexactly future work contemplated; the construction proposed to accommodate it,and the location of prospective stairways and galleries. Also they should makecertain that first-story cases are fitted with adequate supports for the special fram-ing that will be necessary at these points. Employing a competent engineering force in this line, we shall be happy tosupply plans of this character, on application, without expense. The Buffalo, N. Y., Public Library presents an example of one-story stackwork, designed purely for storage purposes, and without view to extension. Theconstruction is illustrated on page 31. In use, it has proved very satisfactory. We have built a number of stacks of the type shown in the Norwood, Mass.,interior (known as the Morrill Memorial Library). The ornamentation is inbronze and it is a finished piece of Erie, Pa., Public & Harlow, Architects. PublicLibrary,Erie, Pa.
