A VERY PROPER ENQUIRY.

[to tub KlllTOli.] Sin,—Can you or any of your readers inform me what has become of the Committee appointed by the central residents of the town, to administer the subscriptions to tho night watchman fund. Ever since their appointment not a single statement or balance sheer, has been submitted to the subscribers to show what has been done. 1 understand that only three parts of the residents in Queen-street subscribe lo the fund, several of the original subscribers having dropped out 'altogether. Anxiously waiting the information. —1 am, etc., OxK WHO HAS KUIISUKMIEI) KIiOJI TIIK STAIiT. TECHNICAL EDUCATION. [l'll I'llK KIUTIIII,] Sit!,—'There is no possible reason why the Technical J'iducation project should not ultimately becolne a great success from more standpoints than one. At present there is some doubt as to whether the Trustees are really in earnest; many people are of the opinion that they are not sincere in their proposals, and that the whole matter will be shelved on the first opportunity. It is to be hoped that such will not be the case. The income of the Trust is now upwards of £750 a year, and the balance-sheet only shows an expenditure of £llO for educational purposes ; then, surely Sir, there should be ample funds with which to foster some such scheme as the present Technical School proposals, in which every Imjinun' of the Trust could benefit to some extent. Similar schools are cheaply and successfully carried on in other places with considerable advantage—both educational and commercial—to the districts in which the) are located, Now the Committee, which was appointed to formulate the initiative proposals, have made known their scheme, by your permission, Sir, your humble servant will have something more to say.—l am, etc., Tmixiijui:.
