THE CLOCK TOWER.

TO THE EDITOR OF "THE P*BS3." —I hope you will be kind enough t<> grant ■me a little space in your valuable paper to take the opportunity of thanking Councillor Ford for .his suggestion in regard to the removal °! 0!lc . l ' le eyesores of the City Beautiful. 1 refer to th© Clock Tower, and hope that ho and the Beautifying Society will do all in their power'to achieve this object. No doubt it filled an important place in the hearts of our earlier citizens and ail loyal subjects during the reign uL" oar late beloved Queen Victoria, in whose honour it was erected, but it lias done its dr.v ol r.sei uh<ess in this part oi' the .( 'ty. Tiio Council admits the motor •locution and geiieral traffic" has be-i-etne quite a problem. Yet it allows a large structure, which has eo much decayed as to be beyond reasonable repair, U> .stand obstructing all kinds oi traffic. There are plenty of places where it could be placed, and the spot leit quite open or niad.j beautiful, sur-h as the triangle in front of the D.1.C., which, when finished, would he a beauty soot to which citizens and visitors to our City would stand and admire, which afc present they pass by and think nothing of.—Yours, etc., PROGRESSIVE.
