Mclntosh (North Loburn), and H W. F. Hamilton, chairmen of the three school committees, were each assisted by a pupil in planting their respective trees. In a short address to the children, the chairman of the Ashley County Council (Mr A. A. Mclntosh) stressed the necessity of having an abundance of trees in New Zealand.
