Oflen, I think, people have thought of staring some private enterprise, but toaud innumerable difficulties in the way.
Surely, it should be the duty of the Govern ment to provide a suitable place, and I am quite cortain that our Governor would earn the everlasting gratitude the whole busloans community if he would supply this urgent want, I do not now advocate the erection of seme grand and costly Tachange building. That would, of correa, be very destrable, but is not quite so really necessary and urgently required. think all we see in want of is a place, properly sheltered from rain andsun, situated in the centre of the town, where you can find and meet people. I would recommend a spacious open kall; inexpan sivobatsolid, and somaykatorgamontal; in factno- thing more than a roof, pillars, and arohes. Such In ball nesl not be highly furnished; thars need be nothing in it but a gaple of telephones, three or four small desks for writing a obit, per- haps a zowspaper stand, a board angsaneing the arrival of ships as soon as telegraphed, and the walls and other availabla places might be covered with wall private letter boxes into which chits could be dropped and for which a sault sauval fee might be charged. Anittance should be fras to all respotably dressed people.
