FREEMAN'S CLOCK
(To the Editor.)
Sir,—ln "The Post" recently the question was raised as to the fate of Freeman's clock. If a mere citizen may express an opinion may I suggest that it be placed on some building between Lambton Quay and Cuba Street. In this long stretch of streets it is impossible for anyone not possessing a watch to find out the time now that the very convenient clock on the.Town Hall has been removed. I have been in all the chief towns in this Dominion and not one is so badly equipped with public clocks as is Wellington. In Auckland it is a pleasure to hear the many clocks chiming out the passing hours, but Wellington, besides being unsocially silent in this respect, is also sadly lacking in giving the passer-by necessary information. I sincerely hope that the old clock in Freeman's building which has been a friend for so many years to Wellingtonians, will not go to join the other clocks which have lately been removed from the public view.—l am, etc.,
CLOCK LOVER,
