Mr. Holt's suggestion, if adopted, would therefore bone- fit the Calong to the extent of about $45,000.

A DEAR FRIEND,

Yet, reluctant as they were to broatheit, the city fathers sounded the death-knell of the old Clock Tower; for henceforth, until such time as the Colony can sparo the funds, there will appoar un item on the estimates to serve as a reminder to futuro Govornors and Logislative Councillors that it has been decreed that our dear old friend has served its day and must be removed. The climax may not be reached for some years but coms it must, and we trust, when the sad day, arrives, that nicho of honour will have been found for the good old clock, on the harbour side of the now. Post Ofico. In this way, the memory of a beloved friend will be pro- served and a promise officially made to the community some years ago, but not yet forgotten, will have been fulfilled.
