STOCK ON BEALEY AVENUE
Sir, —Last Wednesday afternoon I heard a commotion in Bealey avenue ana went to my iront gate, a mountea arover, with dog, was trying to get a cow out of the oack garden of fenceless flats on. the corner of Bealey avenue and Stoneyhurst street. The cow suddenly came running out and, peeing me at my gate, made a bee line for me (in a friend.y fashion, not charging). I could not head her off, and before the drover could get her out she had well trampled our newlydug and planted back garden and the asparagus plot and half trodden in a new little pear tree. What the rest oi the herd did while this was taking place I don’t know, it makes one wonder if •Christchurch is nearing its centenary, whether it is really a city of 150,(L0-odd, or just a big overgrown market town.—Yours, etc., o A , RESIDENT. September 18, 1950.
