Oram Avenue
Sir, —As a ratepayer resident of Oram avenue, I seek your aid in our objection to the proposal of
the City Council to provide parking facilities in the avenue where flower plots previously existed. The avenue, since our merging with the city, has been allowed to drift into a state of utter disgrace. Now the proposal is to provide parking facilities for week-end folk, who are going to turn a good residential area into a motorised drinker's* park.— Yours, etc., DISGUSTED. April 11, 1957. [The Town Clerk (Mr H. S. Feast) said that the proposed work in Oram avenue provided for four garden plots in the section between Beresford street and Hood street, with provision for parking in between the garden plots. For the greater portion of Oram avenue the work provided solely for garden plots. The plans were first submitted to the council in 1956, and had since been reexamined by several committees of the council before being reported upon to the council at its last meeting.]
