BOWLING GREEN FENCE.
COMPLAINT AT, PAPAKURA,
A .letter was received at last night's meeting of the Papakura Town Board from Mr. Wm. Richardson, complaining of the spoiling of the Village Green by the leasing of park lands to a bowling club, which had erected a six-foot iron fence around the park land. The cost of the bowling green was already oyer £1000, which sum included the relief men's work.
The writer of the letter stated that the area which should have a place of beauty was now an eyesore. The bowling green had been put in the wrong place. - Some members thought it was too late to make a protest, but Mr. McEntee said Mr. Richardson was correct and the time to object would be when the lease was advertised. The bowling club had not yet got possession. It was resolved to inform Mr. Richardson of the position.
