EASTERN SUBURBS

CITIZENS’ LEAGUE MEETING. At the quarterly meeting of the Eastern Suburbs Citizens’ League last week, Mr. A. C. Blake, presided over a full attendance of delegates. _ . "t The Houghton Valley Association delegates, who attended for the first tu«c> brought before the meeting various mat ters of interest to their district, and it was decided that a sub-committee visit the district shortly and report upon their requests. One urgent request was fot a bus service along Houghton Bay Road to connect up at Russell Terrace. A proposal that the league approve of tho Lyall Bav site for th c proposed ex hibition was referred to the affiliated associations. The Seatoun delegates mentioned the destruction of the pinnacle rocks along the foreshore towards Lyall Bay from Breaker Bay and it was decided to send a letter to thc City Council strongly nro testing and asking that steps be taken to stop such vandalism in future. It was pointed out that there were tons of good metal on the. shore which could be used for road-making, and that there was no excuse for tho destruction of these rocks. Some misunderstanding having arisen over a resolution reported in the daily Press referring to the eastern suburbs tunnel, the position was explained by the president, nnd after discussion the misunderstanding was satisfactorily cleared up. At the league’s request, Mr. E. A. Batt, president of the Hataitai Municipal Association, agreed to address‘a meeting at Lyall Bav explaining the Rixon Grove route for the tunnel. The league intends to wait upon the council at an early date to urge it to examine further the Rixon Grove route, as it was considered that sufficient consideration had not been given to this route by the City Council officials. ■
