THE LIBRARY

Editor of The Farmer:
 S1r-The sO-caaled argument about danger from fire is more apparent thar real. Those who resort to the lbirary are fully clothed and ready to leave at the first alarm. The Library is no, building, having thicker brick walls, is an increased protection. The free lec- lures were discontinued because for sooth a panic in a large audience might occur. Granted! but the room in the third story should never have been used for this purpose. There ie the city rink on State street which qua for one week, every day and night and it is on the ground floor and ca pacious for 2,500 to 5000 The cost of rent for several evenings would be small and If the library board had been so disposed they could have pleased the public by this means, but they were so intent on making an ad- bound to close the lecture room foi pretended danger.
 AS to the picture gallery on the third floor, it is open for exhibitions for a limited time-a few weeks-and it is never thronged at any time and the danger from panic is nothing. There is not a single objection urged by the P- ~SANSAtS OA SAO 0OoA VI Ol oA1SClOAS SAc cannot be easily remedied, as ventila- tion in the reading room, etc.
 The directors of 1883 were indepen- dent men of substantial character, well fitted to administer their trust, but now, since the law has been unfor. tunately altered to make the board lf-perpetuating, the best men have not always been chosen to fill vacan- cies.'
 What is to hinder any member of the board from interviewing a candidate before his election, and if he is oppos- ed to the. present change of location to drop him for some other more pli- ant person Is it strange there should be such entire unanimity of purpose under the circumstances?
 The president of the board fin 1888 first preached the removal of the H- brary to Golden Hill, but the time was not ripe for the scheme. There was property there which was in the mar ket
 The present president, according to The Sunday Herald of March 31, said rather boastingly, You never can tell what you can do until you have tried. ' Some things he ought never to try and one is to break the will of the late Catherine A. Pettingil. MT. Bishop says no one has made an offer for the library property. May it be be- cause no one is willing to buy a pos sible law suit?
