THE PUBLIC LIBRARY.'
Sir,-Now that the Hongkong Public Library
is fairly started, please allow me a small space in your esteemed paper to suggest to the 2 Committee that the present subscription of $10
a year payable half yearly in advance be reduced - to $6 a year, and that payment be collected quarterly in advance. If this be done, the Library would be placed within the reach of all. From information obtained I learn that many young men, generally clerks drawing loss than $100 a month, are not subsoribers because 1 they find the present subscription somewhat 2 heavy. It is to be hoped the Committee will see fit to make some such reduction as that suggested, thus rendering it possible for all to become acquainted with good books.

There is another point on which I desire to touch. The Library being yet small, the num- ber of works subscribers are entitled to take away at one time should, in my opiuien, be limited to two, for the present, instead of to three.
I am glad to hear that the Library is now Mr. Pug's Cheer Up, 10st, 121bs.........................、、、、、 31 open to the public, only subscribers being
