On May a provincial library and reading room was oMcially opened in commodious quarters in this city and the reading room evidently meets fa real need, for it is well patronized; the library' appears. to have a good selection of books, but it is not yet quite ready for lending them out. doubt that will come about before ion The Construction Bureau is _now running its ears in several directions and on several of the routes private companies are now forbidden to operate, 1 believe the offeial reason given is that these companies clo not ive satisfactory service; that was true, perhaps, at the beginning, but they' have made improvements' and there seemed reason {0 expect, still more, But it seems hardly fair to forbid the private companies from operating on all the roads and to refuse to take over their buses, th inflicting a very real loss, And now there is considerable con-plaint by the public that the Construction Burea does not provide sufficient buses to accommodate all who wish to travel. The Bureau started well and jfave hope that there would be a really good service, but if italaes not supply what people need, should not the private campanles have a chance? This is the question so many people are asking.
