THE OCTAGON.
To the Editor of the Evening Star
Sjr—As the elections are now over, and ~s the successful candidates will no doubt be anxious to have an opportunity of distinguishing themselves, I would just like to point out to them one improvement; and I am sure all those who will take an active part in the carrying of it out, will receive the heartiest thanks of the whole community. I mean making the Octagon what it was oi finally intended to be By fencing it with an iron railing, and planting it with shrubs, (fee., and having a few seats for people to sit upon and admire its beauty, it would then become an ornament to the c ty intea : of the eyesore it is at present. The fountain could then be used, and thus supply a much-felt want. Its very position would make it an admirabl place tor pr menade concerts in the summer afternoons. Those who take this affair in hand will deserve the gratitude of all, and especially of the ladies. u h.'t greater encouragement can they have than that ?—1 am, &c Citizen. Dunedin, 3rd August, 18bO.
