THE CENTENNIAL MEMORIAL
10 THE EDITOR Sir, —Whether my published statements on the x subject of the Centennial Memorial are inaccuracies or not, 1 leave to the public to decide. I definitely state that the self-appointed executive of the Memorial Committee is by no means representative, and that by no stretch of imagination can its decisions be described as expressing the wish of the people, I know that I am voicing the opinion of the majority when I say that, to spend £60,000 or £70,000 of public money on a toy pleasure road and neglect the only proposal worthy of consideration —namely the much-needed women's rest room —will be a howling shame—and a disgrace to the city of Dunedin. Have the mothers of our children not a right to first consideration? I say they, have, and to declare that the choice of the executive is expressing the wish of the people is a first-class inaccuracy —I am, etc., D. J. S. Robertson. Highcliff.
