SUNDAY CONCERTS
TO THE EDITOR. Sir,— The City Council is at present engaged in discussing the question of reserved seats for Sunday concerts. To me it looks like tho thin end of the wedge by the orchestra to give a lead to others to do the eatne, and if the council grant such a reqit 'at, tho question of free (socalled) Sunday concerts will be a bigger one than they imagine. I believe, on what I consider fairly good grounds, that the orchestra are paid for their services at these concerts, and if suoh is the case, their many previous arguments in favour of the concerts must be discounted considerably. It would be well if the council made enquiries from this standpoint bofore permitting what is recognised as a breach of faith in regard to the seating at the concerts.

Either make them free as at present, or stop them. — I am, etc,
