THE GREY STATUE.
Sir,—Statues—to the deserving—are commendable; but they should be in suitable places. Narrow thoroughfares are not proper places for statues. The Grey Statue, moreover, ia a pronounced menace to life. It involves a sharp deflection of the tram-lines; and the day will come when a runaway car will come to grief at that very statue, unless the obstruction be removed. _ Public parks or wide ooen places are suitable for statues; but busy, narrow streets are certainly not, these lays. One of the Public.
