New Brighton Pier
Sir, —What a wet blanket Mr A. Bodger is. Because the pier did not pay in his young ! days—over two generations | ago—when Brighton was onlyl a name, with half a dozen shops and a dog-fight, it is not - to say it will not pay today. One has only to look at the photograph in Monday’s ' issue to see New Brighton, ' a bright, busy, prosperous ' suburb, so different from 60odd years ago. Why look back? Why not look forward to the day when New Brighton, from the Spit to Waimairi, will be the playground of Christchurch, and a great tourist attraction? We need men of vision, not men who would like to keep us in the i doldrums. I enclose £1 for] the pier fund.—Yours, etc., LOOKING FORWARD. ’ December 28, 1964.
