Decorations in city
Coloured lights will illuminate inner Christchurch, fountains will play in the Ayon River and several stores will install special window displays as part of decorations to mark the inter-Dom-inion trotting championships which will begin on February 13.
The Christchurch City Council’s waterworks department has installed five of the fountains which were used during the Pan-Pacific Arts Festival and the department’s supervisor (Mr A. J. Millar) said that another six would be installed during the weekend.
One large store is planning to show videotape displays of trotting events in its showroom windows. ■ The council had also made available, to the Trotting Conference, at a fee a number of flag-poles and flags used to decorate the city during the Arts Festival and these would be erected at the Addington Raceway, said a spokesman for the City Engineer’s Department. The sculpture for the Stewart fountain may be ready for placing in position on the site in the Triangle next week. “It should be ready pretty soon now,” said a spokesman for the engineer’s department. i
