Carnegie Gift May Fund Sedalia Library Building
The Sedalia Free Public Library could receive a $50,000 Carnegie grant to erect a dedicated library building if the city provides a suitable site and funds maintenance of about $2,500 annually. D H Smith's influence and a council record push the plan, with a spring election expected to divert revenues to cover costs.
