TONGARIRO PARK
BOARD MEETING ON "WEDNESDAY.
Several important questions dealing with improvements to Tongariro National Park will be considered when the newly-constituted Board of Control holds its second meeting at Waimarino next "Wednesday, says the “New Zealand Herald.” The matter of a suitable site for a central hostel will come up for consideration,- and as several members of the board are not favourably inclined toward the site on the Pukeonako ridge, selected by the special committee, the. discussion will bo one of considerable interest and importance. The "Whakanapa site is favoured by other members, although some of the advocates of tho Pukeonakei site object to Whnkapana as being damp and “shnt-in,” so far as any view of the mountains is concerned.
Visitors to the park are now findng it a good deal easier to find their way about tho. park, sign-pouts having been plaied along tho streams and tracks giving their names and clearlv indicating the turn-offs. The material and labour for this wmrk have been provided bv the Prisons Department. The fishing is stated to have greatly improved at tho park, 200.000 troot fry having been liberated in the streams last season. The fish have thriven well, and several catches up to 9Slb. have been made this season within a few miles of the base of Ruapehu.
