THE GRAFTON BRIDGE.
-When this structure was first mooted the public were given to. understand that care would be exercised so that nothing approaching desecration of graves should obtain. My wife and I viewed the s<pot where our loved ono was laid shortly before operations wore commenced, and wrongly concluded the grave would not be interfered with. Judge of our chagrin and sorrow when on visiting the spot last Wednesday no trace of it could bo found. Yet tho grave was enclosed with a wooden frame, and. upon it my wife had but recently deposited some flowers. Should not tho City Council have seen, before the work was started, that, nil the graves in the line of operation were properly' protected or proper arrangements made for their removal? What redress have wo? Chas. 11. Kixc.
