To the Editor of the "Nowri-Cutna Dany News"
Si—The Shanghai public pays annually some hundreds of millions revenue to the Chinese Maritime Customs—and yet—when the public go to meet friends arriving by steamer at the Jetty they must stand in the open—unprotected from sun, rain, sleet, hail, wind and cold, Sometimes they, hundreds of them, are caught in sudden showers" and thoroughly drenched.
Would it be asking too much io suggest that at least a covered shed be provided for those of us who must meet arriving tenders from steamers?
Thanking you for calling attention to this much needed common necessity.
Shanghai, June 19,
