POPLARS SAID TO BE DANGEROUS
Avenue at Kaiapoi INSPECTION MADE BY COUNCILLORS Because they consider the trees in the poplar avenue at Kaiapoi to be dangerous, representatives of the Rangiora County Council and the Kaiapoi Borough Council will ask two reserve superintendents to inspect the trees and report on what remedial steps should be taken. An inspection was made yesterday by representatives of both councils, ineluding, for Kaiapoi, the Mayor (the Rev W. H. A. Vickery), and Messrs A. Gordon and R. Smith (clerk), and for Rangiora, the chairman (Mr C. Rands), and Messrs J. R. Keeper and F. S. Young. , _ . . It was said that the trees were first planted in the 1870's, and that it was believed they were intended as an embankment against floods.
