SAN FRANCISCO LETTER.

SAN Francisco. Aug. Sd. 1879.
Free libraries like free baths have
always been great benefit in large
cities; bnt when the object for which
they are intended the common good
is endangered they become source Of
annoyance rather than a benefit. In
other words it is better to want all ones
life than to 1.-Two on expectation and
then die in despair. and such will be
our fate 50 far a. free Libraries and
baths are concerned If the supervisors
are TO manage the former and the Lick
trustees the latter. Two years ago
James Lick donated one hundred and
fifty thousand dollars for the coustruc-
ton Of FREQ bath TO DE presented to
the city. After his death all tho prop
crty was placed in the hands Of board
Of trustees who we're expected to faith
fully carry out the provisions Of Mr.
Lick's generous bequest. but so far little
has been done but to sell . portion of
the vast estate, valued I believe OF the
time Of his death ct seven millions of
dollars. So far as l can ascertain, az
ter diliSsnt inquiry. nothing has been
done toward carrying into effect any of
the many liberal schemes outlined by
Mr. Lick which would have proved =
blessing u suffering community.
And the free library lately started is
apparently destined to DO like the tree
baths "A miserable failure. On last
years tax levy. one mill on every one
hundred dollars valuation WAS levied
especially for the library fund. but
through some error the toll tax collect
or. VIM Mitchell. failed to so s,ipula,e.
And now those. from whom better
things are expected, want to perver, the
fund from its original purpose TO some
unknown one. and the courts are now
trying to find out where the twenty
Ave thousand dollars, which undoub,ed-
II belongs To the library fund, shall go
to. Should they decide against the
library, that institution will have to be
closed; and if SO. will be- Of great loss
