MASTERTON INSTITUTE.

I\V'•; ......... • ; ';,(To ;! the .Editor WAiRARAfA Daily.) •Sir,—kindly allow me the; privilege of aayinj; a few worth concerning the question of the v management of ojir public. Library. I have read tHe correspondence on- this suljjept that has recently appeared in your valuable journal, and hoped to have Been some,'remedial suggestion a from your numerous-correspondents. It does seem a pity that the managing committee should be hampered always'with a financial difficulty; and I cannot comprehend why there should be anj such diffi. . culfy. If the property was not of sufficient value as security for the amount due to the bank, the committee might well be anxioua to be rid of their liability, but no private capitalist would have any qualms of conscience in loaning money, sufficient to payroll debt, .for a number of years at moderate inteveat, and the princi- ! pal is a matter to be indifferent about. : I really "do not' Bee-why the Committee \ should trouble ..themselves at all about 1 their indebtedness; that is after all only ; a matterfor the bank to be troubled about, and that institution is not likely to grow thin worrying over it. The committee'! am afraid are inflicted with a lamentable • amount oL conpoientiouaneaa, alt'ogother, misplaced in this progressive century, and if they persist in their wilfulness .we shall , , havii to get them appointed Governors of Wellington College, or else Wellington. City OouD§illors r ßo. • that they, may be '• '•filiWSdr"'■'.■■■ \J-i' •. V- '■ l } imrfn., '■ : ',iM. SciSOEIBEE N0.2,
