RESERVE FOR MIRAMAR
PROTEST. The Miramar Workers’ Dwellings Association has forwarded to the City Council a resolution protesting against the proposal that the whole of the reserve ground at Miramar should be devoted to tennisThe following resolution was carried unanimously at a well-attended meeting held last week: — ■‘This largely-attended meeting of Miramar residents resents and strongly protests against the proposed action of tho City Council in handing over to a private body land which is the property of the whole people. We maintain that tha Broadway reserve of two acres should become a children’s play area, and the ten acres of the old Miramar racecourse should !><’ utilised for municipal tennis courts. This would give tennis a still wider popularity, and the younger generation of tho working people would have a far better chance of enjoying their undoubted birthright than if the twelve acres in question were vested in the Wellington Lawn Tennis Association, or any other private body.”
