DECORATING THE CITY.
The Auckland City Council is to be congratulated on the ambitious scheme of decoration arranged for the Coronation, the effect of which will >>p very attractive and quite worthy of our fair city. I notc V with pleasure the intention to have a uniform display of bunting and lights. Nothing is more unsightly than strings of faded and bedraggled flags hung in a haphazard manner. May I suggest that the council prohibit the uie of so-called .srreenery, which, apart from the mutilation of native bush that it entails, in both dangerous and unsightly? It is dangerous because fast-moving traffic is sometimes obscured by the attaching of thi* stuff to verandah poles, etc.. and unsightly because it lasts but a very few hours and then become* a sorry-looking spectacle. AUt'KLANDER.
