WILLETT MEMORIAL FUND.

(To THE EDiToR Or THE " SpecriToR.")

Sia,---rIt is proposed to erect a suitable public memorial to the late Mr. William Willett, whose laborious, protracted, and -wholly disinterested efforts secured to his fellow-countrymen the enormous benefit of the Daylight Saving Act, now greatly appre- ciated by all classes of the community. It is suggested that the memorial should take the form of a clock tower, any balance in hand being applied for the benefit of disabled sailors and soldiers. H.R.H. the Duke of Connaught has graciously given his name as the patron of the memorial scheme, which is also heartily sup- ported by the Prime Minister and other members of the Cabinet, Members of both Holmes of Parliament, Chairmen of County Councils and of other Public Bodies. Donations will be gladly received by the Hen, Treasurer, The Lord Carnock, at the Office, 14 Holbein Place, Sloane Square, London, S.W. 1; or cheques may be paid in to the " Willett Memorial Fund " at the London County Westminster Bank, Lower Sloane Street, London, S.W. 1.
