STREET IMPROVEMENT

Sir.—At the present time we are asked to take an Interest in our gardens and a pride in our atreets 1 would like to draw your attention to the part of Worcester street between Fitzgerald avenue and Stanmore road. There are five vacant sections, and they are a disgrace to the street—overgrown and full of rubbish, and only 10 minutes from the centre of the city. I understand the late government intended to build fiats on thtae sections. It did tend a gang of men to clean them up occasionally, but the present Government has done nothing. I doubt if it knows that it owns th.am. I know of various people who would be only too willing to buy this property and help keep this part of the street tidy and not a disgrace, as it is at the present time.—Yours, ate., ( October 3!. 1150. FACTS - I“This division, which owns the tots, is in the same position as an ordinary individual citizen, and takas steps to keep the sections in reasonable order." said an official of tha Howrinc Cmstruction Division of the Minirirv of Works at Christchurch. "It there is a nuisance, there is always a mean, ot redress through the appropriate iocs’ body.”]
