We learn that the new reading room is to
be opened to the public early in April, and
it has been suggested that our citizens gener-
ally will feel an interest in affording material
aid to the gentleman who has inaugurated the
enterprise, and on whom the financial respon-
sibility rests. Contributions of daily, weekly
or monthly papers, magazines, books or cash
will be gratefully received and appropriated
for the benefit of the public. 1t is desirable
that contributions should be made at once, so
that the liability of sending for papers from
the publishers that may voluntarily be donat-
ed by friends, may be avoided. The enter
prise is certainly worthy of liberal support.
