Dr. Victor H. Hecht, the former City Pathologist, who suggests that a statue of Delius be erected in Bradford, has asked: "What better way could be found to observe Festival of Britain year in Bradford ?" One correspondent who read this question in "City Topics", sends a forthright answer - " There are any number of better ways to observe the Festival than by the erection of statue No.46". There are 45 "open air" statues in Bradford. And none of them honours a man or woman who was actually born in the city.
