THE TOWN CLOCK.
TO THI BDITOB Of TBS TIMABU BEBAIID. Sib, — I obierre from your report of last meeting of Tima.ru Borough Council, tbat tbe town cloak is not to be lit up, except one night (Saturday) daring Ihe week for the future- This resolution, I presume, wai made on the icore of economy. If 10, it appears to me a rery checieparing economy, eipecially after all (he fusi tbat hai been made orer procuring this preciom ornament, and the cost of iti ereolion. Surely a few •hillings per week would not be misapplied from the town rate! m illuminating tbe face of the clock, boib for tbe information of people pawing through the town within leeing diitanoe, and m being a derided ornament to Timsru at night when lightcdup. Hoping preiiure will at once be brought to bear on our looal Aldermen at their next meeting, which will induce them to rescind the resolution referred to, and allow tho gaa to be lit m the olook till midnight at lnast efery night through the year as m other towm m Sew Zealand, I am, 4c.,
