As beautiful and imposing an edifice as one would wish to see anywhere is the magnificent Santa Clara Roman Catholic Church, which was erected in 1903-4 at a cost of over $50,000. The Episcopal, Presbyterian, Methodist, Baptist, Christain and German Lutheran denominations are also represented by attractive, commodious houses of worship. THE CARNEGIE LIBRARY. About a year ago it became apparant that the Oxnard Circulating Library, an institution which hud been doing a irood work on a limited scale for several vears, was be- -j coming inadequate to meet the intellectual and literary demands ol our city. The need for a large, substantial free library was realized by the board of city trustees, under the able presidency of Richard B.

Haydock, who has since left us, much to the deep regret of every citizen of Oxuard. A site was chosen for the building, a fund pledged for the support of the institution, and overtures to Andrew Carnegie, steel king and library giver, were begun. Mr. Carnegie responded generously, offering twelve thousand dollars for the erection of the building. Plans were forthwith drawn up and bids for the contract invited, upon which it developed that Mr.

Carnegie's donation was just two thousand dollars short of being enough to erect such a building as was desired. The The Carnejit Ubrtry.

The building, an imposing 1 structure of Grecian design, stands on the north, side of the plaza and is now nearly completed.

The basement will be devoted to the city offices, such as the council chamber, recorder's court, marshal's office, etc. In connection with this subject we must say a word in praise of the Woman's Civic League, a society which did much to create the demand for a large free News Agency. ability and energy when rightly directed are winning qualities every time ie demonstrated in the eucceai attained by Mr. W.

Near the center of tbe business district there is located a plaza, where ever-verdant palms and shade trees are found, and one feature worthy of particular mention is the fact that almost every sidewalk in i the citv boih in the business and residence section, has been i laid with cenieut, thus doing away with the board walk nuisance so common in cities of like size but lesser enterprise.
