Cathedral Square
Sir, —When malaria was prevalent, pools of stagnant water were recognised as being breeding places. Some citizens believe that mosquitoes sucking tourists’ blood are bred in corners of the Square. If certain haunts were removed predators (blood-sucking) would not be attracted there. Tourist drivers have warned tourists against using the Square which houses an English-type Cathedral. Why not add another English touch — ye anciente stocks? Instead of more secure prisons and constant offenders, a drain on all, this would be a tourist attraction unequalled in New Zealand. Rubbish to be thrown could be provided from lunch-time crowds. Thieves’ hands would be secured instead of being in tourists’ pockets. Offenders later would have to clean up the Square. There would be a sudden drop in crime and the Square a safe place. — Yours, etc.,
V. H. ANDERSON. January 23, 1988.
