EDUCATION BD. RESERVE
Distribution Of Profits “I think we should rename the Waimairi Beach afforestation reserve the George Edgar afforestation reserve, in view of the amount of time and energy Mr Edgar has put into afforestation projects,” Mr E. F. Wilde told the Canterbury Education Board. It was Mr Edgar’s last meeting after 18 years on the board. “That would enable us to chop at him in perpetuity,’’ commented Mr D. L. Waghorn amid laughter. The sale of the timber on an eight-acre block had given a net profit of £2140 10s 4d, the board was told. The board agreed that £l2OO of this should be distributed among the 27 schools, which had contributed pupils* time to the project, in proportion to the number of boy-days given. The rest of the money will be held by the board until replanting arrangements have been made. The distribution will be the first made to schools from the project. The total area of ♦he reserve is 64 acres.
