Blenheim Road And Fire Station Site
Sir, —So many correspondents have been arguing that progress demands another road through Hagley Park and a fire station next doof-to the Baptist Chdrch that it may be worth while;- to develop the argument a little further. In the name of progress, I propose that the Avon be converted into a covered drain, so that the surface may be used for parking; that Hagley Park be zoned as a residential area and cut into sections; that the Cathe-
dral be demolished and the land devoted to a block for the T.A.B. or perhaps shared equally between the Inland Revenue and the Social Security Departments. With these developments, Christchurch would move to the van of the Gadarene rush, and win a smile, surely, from the great god Progress.—Yours, etc., SENECA. September 23, 1958.
