Yo the Editor of the "Nonra-Cutss Dany News, Sin,—I shall. thank you to' allow me space in your columns to draw the attention of the Municipal Council to the. fact that, in view of the large intux of foreigners to Shanghai latrly, the Public Garden is not only much too small, but the seats there are too few. In addition, I may that the amahs who go to the garden with children monopolise every bench and chair, to the great inconvenience of everyone else who gues there for a little rest and fresh air, and more especially in this trying hot weather.
On Friday last I looked in every' nook and corer in the garden trying to find a chair for a lady friend, but alas "all my time and trouble and energy were was'ed in vain, the amahs and their charges having full ion of all available seats.
hope that something will be done to remedy the evil.
Tam, ete., 16th July.
