CORRESPONDENTS' VIEWS
ALBERT PARK To The Editor The grandfathers of our present citizens were sadly lacking in foresight when they planted the type of trees now growing in Albert Park, the chief feature of which was, and should always be, the glorious view of the harbour from the vicinity of the flagpole, not to mention the birds-eye survey of the city. Butnow all this is being obliterated by the overgrowth of these trees. One of the earliest recollections of my childhood was the days spent in the park watching the old paddle ferries crossing the harbour. But nowadays, even with more worthwhile sea and airborne ships to view from our city's most accessible vantage point, this pleasure is denied us and, also, all visiting tourists. Since such a "black-out" is so easily eliminated, it is suggested that the present gang of workers employed on, or under the park, should next be allotted the task of clearing away all the large trees, especially on the northern slopes, so that we may enjoy the amenities of one of Auckland's chief • assets. E. AND O.E. •
