THE CARGILL MONUMENT.
To the Editor. Sir, —It is witk muck regret as a ratepwej,’ that I observe that our civic rulers have made si;cU au ajfcftek upon the Cavgill monument. There aro many other ways of spending the money that would be beneficial to Dunedin. If they want the entrance to George street from Princes street improved, why not make the street pass each side of the monument, and make the base of it a fountain for horses to drink at, and do away with the unsightly water troughs in our streets. In this respect they might take a copy from Melbourne, where many years since the City Council placed a fountain at the junction of Collins and Swanston streets, and another in the Burke and Wills monument, ai junction of Collins and Russell streets. Compare the traffic in those streets with ours. But I hope some abler pen than mine will take this matter up. 1 say, let the monument remain where it is. Yours, 4c., Ale.v. Wallace. Dowling street, Dunedin, December 18.
