WANGANUI'S MONUMENT.

To the Editor. Sir, —I hope there will be no hole and corner meeting like the one the other day to decide a suitable monument for Wanganui. It looks as it the small unrepresentative meeting ■was composed mostly oi people interested in Durie Hill and marble quarries. This is a question that concerns every phase of the community, and I hope that next time a meeting is held it will be properly convened by the Mayor, and not by someone merely asking people “to come along to a meeting at four o’clock.” —an impossible time except for bowlers and people of leisure. Let us do things properly and in order when such a thing as a soldiers’ memorial is to be discussed. A monument for more birds to camp on and discolour is not to my liking.—l am, etc., ST. JOHNS.
