COOK MEMORIAL MONUMENT
'(To the Editor Gisborne Times.Sir, — I notice that '• Sally down the Alley ” is displaying more wisdom than is her wont in recommending her conservative readers to put the Cook Memorial Monument down a well, or in other words inviting them to plant it in the Recreation Ground, so that visitors to Gisborne should never see it. Sally evidently thinks this is to be some two-penny half-penny ornament for Captain Cook, and is anxious to hide it along with the band rotunda, which up to this day I have never been able to find. But Sally should be consistent, fer if I remember rightly she fought hammer and toDgs to have the band rotunda on the Point. Why not have Captain Cook on the Point ? Perhaps the solution is that Sally is advocating the Recreation Ground with the idea that for once in her existence she might be on the winning side.—l am, etc , Plain Bill.
