CITY PARK AT WAITAKEREI.

It has been decided that the proposed excursion to Nihotapu Falls, under the auspices of the Auckland Scenery Conservation Society, will take place on or about Wednesday, April IHli next. The particulars will be fully advertised in a day or two. The excursionists will visit, the same locality as did His Excellency Lord llanfurly and the Governor of New South Wales. The Society will probably issue a descriptive leaflet for the information of visitors, showing the large area of land which has been reserved by the City Council as a people's park. The whole contains some 750,000 feet of kauri. These fine kauri trees will be of great interest in future years when the timber trade has levelled all the kauri forests of the North Island. Mr Allom, the hon. secretary of the Society, to-day visited the locality to make the necessary arrangements for the outing. He was accompanied by Mr Kensington, of the Crown Lands and Survey Department, who were to inspect the cutting of the boundary lines of the newly acquired section. Mr Kensington will probably make inquiries as to the amount which Parliament will require to vote next session for opening up the necessary roads in the district.
