THE SITE FOR THE PUBLIC LIBRARY.

(To the Editor.) Sir, —I do not know if yon can find room for a few remarks on the above subject. A few days ago, siuco hcnrisg the eloquent lecture of that "grand old man," Sit George Urey, 1 was thinking of writing you a sort of wakins; dream, an imaginary vision of \ what I thought 1 could see in the centre of! this beautiful city of Auckland. I stood in i Victoria-Street us intersected by Chapel street, and in imagination cast my mental vision three years into the future, say 1886. Looking towards the Albert Park, so lately the unsightly Barrack Hill, methought I 1 saw a magnificent stone and concrete build ing at the end of the nticet, with a frontage of some 300 feet, and rising some 100 feet in height from the casement, with two I large wings extending into, and opening on to, the Albert Park—forming a sort of letter j E—two towers, one at each end, rose some 50 feet higher than the main building; the centre space between tbe wings covered by a massive glass dome. Ail round the building were galleries form ing a peasant lounge and promenade. Inside, my mental eye conld ■ picture spacious, airy rooms set apart for the vari ous institutions —museum, picture gallery, library, and reaaing-room; spacious broad staircase from basement to highest floor; alto, up and down lift worked by electric i motive power; also lighted both inside and' outside with electricity. Such a building as l pictured to my mind would cost not less than £50,000, and I do not tblak this sum, large though it may appear, one penny too much for an enterprising city like * uckland to spend ova building which is to contain some of tbe choicest and most valuable liter ary treasures in the world. These were some of the thoughts that passed through my miad before reading your able leader, I confess that 1 am somewhat divided in my opinion as to which would be the best position—the one facing Wellesley-street as suggested by you, or the one facing Vic toria-street. But in any case -some where near the Albert Park is certainly the site for excellence,! there can be no doubt.—l am, &c, .T. T Pnnvmpr.H.

THE FREE LIBRARY SITE.

(To the Editor.) Sib,—Many valuable thoughts have from time to time occurred to yon, and of which you have given the Stab readers the bene fit, but I question much whether a happier ono has been placed before the public than is contained in your article re tbe site for our coming " Free Library " and " Art Gal lery ;" it is simply in myopioion admirable. Now tbe stone structure which is being nzod to the ground was not by far such an encroachment on the people's Park as the leaseholds that have been filched from it and built on. Ia fact the ''Armoury was merely an eyesore through its excessive ugliness. What gieattr compliment could, be paid to those grand benefactors of this city who have given such large sums in! money ar.d priceless treasures of art to the people, than to expend in the erecdon of a palatial structure the cash of one, and enshrine therein the gift* of the other in the People's Park ? It would be interesting to know who the individual is that has used your columns in dubbing the frequenters of the Auckland Free Library ' r.bblc." I'll weger that the humblest of those seekers after knowledge are equal if not superior to himself in all the attributes that constitute real manhood. But, sir, a rangements could easily be made in plan ning out the appioach; s that only one out let could be ueed after nightfall by the fre quenters of the Library and Gallery. 1 nave petitioned the Council to at once up root the trees growing in the Grey-street reseive and leplant them in tbe Albert Park; let them find a final resting place around the site of the coming public build ings on three sides—leaving, of course, the harbour view open. Mark oat the site, and let the tree-planting be done at once. It will in no way impede the erection of the Library and Gallery. — I am, sir, yours faithfully, T. B. HINNAFORD.

GIRLS HIGH SCHOOL.

(To the Editor.) Sib,—ln casting about for a permanent site for the above, consideration would be well for the pupils who travel by boat or rail, some of whom walk a considerable distance eta they reach either. Mr Heath, doubtless, would be able to speak of the fagged and exhausted state of the girls after hurrying up during the hot seasons, little fit, it may be presumed, for mental exercise,—l am, etc., HIGEID.

GRAMMAR SCHOOL.

(To the Editor.) Si*,—Humour has it that a malodorous atmosphere, emanating from defective drainage under, the building, exists to an extent more palpable than wholesome; also, that this condition of mat lei s sanitary has been duly " Bourne " to the architect, who, in his turn, has borne his official mandate to the next "pigeon hole," and so on ad infinitum. Perhaps when some of the darling boys of our "merchant princes'* bave passed " to the bourn from which no traveller returns," the " rulers will believe," and that stink will be smelkss in the " twinkling of ad eye." it is said that the little Burleys are not burly enongh to with stand the lung poison, but have audaciously shown signs of humanity like nnto scions of nobility, tted-tapism,. Thou ait an evil among men, thou should'st be relegated to limbo; thy victims are a goodly number, aud tbou art mean enough to count among them chiefly plebeians.—l am, &c , SCttOOLBjY.

THE ROAD TO ROTORUA.

(To tho Editor.) SiK,—ln tbe Stab of tbe 4th inst. I read a paragraph warning. tourists to avoid tbe Tauranga-Botorua Road, and urging'them to take the Auckland-Waikato route to the Lake District. Being thoroughly ac quainted with the road, which I have often traversed both by summer and winter, 1 oan fully endorse your recommendation, at least so far bb regards the winter months: The eighteen miles ot bush road be tween Oropi and Werenga prove a terrible trial even to tourists in robust health, and no invalid should attempt this route during the winter. The rest of the 42 miles, viz., from Tauranga to Oropi,' ahd from Werenga to Chinemutuj is a really good road, though the bridges certainly re quire more supervision than they Bcem to get. The bush road never can be made a good road unless it be metalled, and I am confident that it would be far cheaper to incur this expenditure at once, instead of throwing away the large Sums expended every year in patching up tbe road for tho summer—a course which seems only to leave it worse each succeeding winter than it was before. The roid ii extensively used, and I think tbat a considerable part of the expenditure might be met by imposing tolls for payment of a sinking fund and Interest. The bush should also be felled for at least a chain On each side of the road, in order to give access to tbe son's rays, and so allow Some chance of the roadway drying. The road, whatever its winter defects, Contains along .its course some'of the grandest scenety iv th's island, and I should always lecpmmeud it to the summer tourist. In your paragraph, above cited, you give an extract from the Napier "Telegraph," in which it is stated that at Ohinemutu, the touilst reaches •' a hotel where he hopes to find a fire to dry himself by ; instead, he discovers a house in which the architect has onriouly umi ted "fireplaces and chimneys." ; « I can only say that the tourist in ques tion, like too many others, went to the wrong hotel for comfort, simply because he selected the one most extensively puffed, Had ho goneto either Mr Kelly's "Palace" or Mrs Morrison's "Rotorna," he would have found good fiieplaces and rood fires in them, and would also have found a hot meal. ready for _ him wiihiu half an hour of bis arrival, I at whatever hour of tho day or night. The only hotel without fire places except, in tbe kitchen and a small smoking-room, is; the Lake House F.btel. it is also OLly here that visitors arriving after the dinner hour are informed, ft they ask for tea or for a hot meal, that the fire is out and no hot'water, &c, procurable. 1 have kuown many pen sons who, arriving late in the evening and tired out with their long drive, have often taken up their quarters at ih«a Lake House', i.nd, finding they ccmla get no tea or cupper, have gone to either t c Palace or Rotoiua, had a comfortable hot meal, tea, &c, and then returned to their comfortless bat much be-puffed head-quarters to sleep. There, it is true, they will find stable "Likeihe Hidalgo's dinner ; very little meat and a great deal of table-cloth," as Longfellow has it, but at the other b.ousea I have al ' ways found the meals good and plentiful. Tbo attendance, &c, is bad simply be cause in this house the servants are the masters, for reasons which I need not' low

My aim for the years I have been bqfore the Auokland pubilo haa been to publish what Good Tea con sists ot, so tnat the oonsumer might be my judge. Those who wonld that Ignorance should prevail comider a man foolish for his pains, bnt I have been more than compensated b; tho ooldkm oi'imomb of hundreds of people for hundreds of miles round Auokland. and' as in timated, many ot my customers I have cot seen, I oan readily admit the desirability of giving Qold Medals to Tea Qiowers for pro ducing Tea of rare exoailonce, pains and ex pense being incnrredln Its prodnotlon, but cone of this belongs to tho Paonet Tk^MiN Many oan, but few do. constantly give good value for monoy.
