OUR TOWN CLOCK.

(To the Editor). » Sir, —What is to become of our. clock with its beautiful musical chimes? As a very old resident and a subscriber to its purchase I feel it- ! my duty to make a suggestion as to its future. With all due respect to His Worship the Mayor and the Borough • Council I would suggest that the public take the matter in hand, and further that a steel tower should be built over the present rock garden in our central broadway, and that it should take the form of a miniature Eiffel Tower. The steel work could all be made in the Dominion. The logs or supports need not be very high, say 14ft or 15ft from the ground, and a strongly built cabin of either timber or iron to House the clock on the top. I do not go into the practical part of the schemo. I merely make the suggestion, in the hope that someone younger and more capable will consider the matter. [i The money to defray the cost might be found in the usual way, viz., by subscriptions, proceeds, of lotteries, sports, concerts, etc. No doubt the consent of the council would be easily obtained, together with a substantial cheque to help in the work.—l am, etc., C. BOYCE, Sonr. .
