NOT AN EASY PROBLEM.
EEAUTIFYING OF HTTTT ROAI>.
AN EXPERT'S SUGGESTION 8.
(Ry Telegraph.—Special to "Star.") WELLINGTON, tlrs day. The question of beautifying the Hutt Road continues to exercise the minds of members of the Wellington Automobile Association, and the objections that have been raised on various grounds seem to have disposed completely of any likelihood of trees being planted along the waterfront side of the road. However, the planting of the steep slopes of the hills on the other side is being considered, and a report has been made-by Mr. E. Phillips Turner, secretary of the Forestry Department, who recommends the acquisition of the whole of the lower slopes. Mr. Turner is by no means sanguine x>f the success of trees planted under the adverse conditions that would be met with, but suggests a number of hardy sorts that, planted judiciously among the scrubby growth. already existing, might in time restore the cliti's to their pristine beauty. These include pohutakawa, southern * rata, tree ferns and cabbage trees.
