THE PUBLIC LIBRARY...
TO THE EDITOR OF THE "DAILA FEESK"-- Bir-Now that the Hongkong Tablic Library is fairly started, please allow as a small space in your esteemed paper to suggest to the Committor that the present sabsorption of $10 a year payable half yearly in adrenos be reduced to St a year, and that payment be collected quarterly advance. If this be done, the
Library would be placed within, the reach of all. From information obtained I learn that mushy young men, generally olotka drawing less than $100 a month, are not sabeoribers bossuso they find the present subscription somewhat heavy. It is to be hoped the Committee will sse fit to make some such reduction as that. suggested, thus rendering it possible for all to become nog minted with good books, j
