THE CARGILL MONUMENT.
TO THE EDITOR. Sir, —I consider that the way in which the monument in Custom House Square is being used is ari utter disgrace to this city. It has simply become a “day sleeping place” for a number of idle loafers. A friend from a small northern town made a very caustic remark in regard to the matter. Surely it is no advertisement at a time when the place is full of visitors to have the vo’-.y centre of the city made a camping ground f ~>r the “I.W.W.’s.” Another trouble that strikes me is that connected with the lounging idlers that support the public buildings of an evening—mostly stupid, half-grown louts. It is high time that “city regulations” were enforced by the police so that we may cease to he a cause of comment. —I am, etc., Disgusted Citizen. Dunedin, January 6.
