LYTTELTON LIBRARY.
TO THIS EDITOR. Sm, —In youv report of tho last meeting of tho Lyttelton Borough Council no mention was mndo of tho sympathy that was expressed by aovoral of tho Councillors on tho booming hardship complained of in tho letter from Mr J. L. Davis re tho acceptance of tho Press tender for bookbinding for tho Colonists’ Hall Library. It vraa argued that tho Committee, seeing tho amount would probably oxcood tho limit permitted by private arrangement, ought to have advertised for public tenders, and certainly not give rise to suspicion (which I for ono did not entertain) that it was possible for tho price tha t had been given to ooze out so that a second person could shape his price accordingly, and use the brains and experience of tho first person. —I am, Ac., T. MERSON.
