TREES THE PARK.
| '|D THS «WTO» OF TUB PKBBS. ; correspondent "Port : U-tf" sounds an overdue note of fording the necessity to keep '' iflflfr in line with the general apat an English park as planned r gEljetteerß. "We have a flora of ' tfMifiad J» "y case the old C 0 "1 1" wfcaießdialy represented everyXn'Whst U really wanted, in the SWk'Pwk at - least, is variety. From to «df links one seems to be sur«m§jl with" what amounts to little oB» ftaa » glorified fence. It is the gimlimj that strikes one. An im■inwrmt f" this respect could be Jjfc, by. entirely altering the appeargai «| .that extremely plain-looking «M {TOTS near Victoria Lake. It is piMf the plainest piece of hbrtiottm in «ny P* rk in Australia or New ft.t—a What a contrast would be prided if it were planted with AusblSa gass, peppermint and otherwise. H» then is another sad wreck: that sgk Uasd in the smaller lake; once it nj stile attractive, but for some awm or another the toi grass was Kami, and nothing pnt in its place. Isati the suggestion that it be con«eji' into something of the nature <t£ui2e atoll or coral island. Why lit, fiieeSt Are we not Pacific IsksUn! Then again, departing from ftstms,if» have another fearful eye«*Vfti£ Armagh street bridge. The asa4tttn&ee from the City is a disjputfit far as. the side-walks and floor «Bb*l» concerned. It seems to be waiss}ojueM to attend to it. Yet )Bft«4jtets in every direction are so tW&tik the contrast strikes one as u tttogt and an unnecessary offence «rd» eye.—Tours, etc., ITI-TKEE. jingnst 6th, 1932.
