THE CARGILL MONUMENT.

To the Editor. Sir, —Noticing a letter in your issue of last evening regarding the waste of the company’s water, 1 should like to call the attention of the proper authorities to the disgraceful state of the fountain at Cargill s monument, which, instead of being an ornament and a credit to the town, is really a disgrace. The basins which receive the water are fitted with a covered drain or overflow to take off the water. This has become so choked up with dirt and other matter as to be quite useless for the purpose, consequently the water runs over the top of the basins, and down the carved stonework into the road, causing great inconvenience to persons wishing to use the fountain. If the same quantity of water as flows from the fountain into the road was to run from any private dwelling, causing as great a nuisance, I have no doubt long before this we should have heard of it from our zealous Inspector of Nuisances. Before the fountain is illuminated at night (which will be a great improvement to the town), I hope it will bo made the duty of some one to see that it is kept clean and creditable by day. I am, <kc., Good Templar. Dunedin, October 17.
