WIDENING GLENMORE ROAD
AUTHORITY ISSUED The proclamation enabling the City Council to proceed with the widening of Gleuipore Road and the filling in of the gully near the tramway loop above the Botanical Gardens, has been issued. Five men are now at work on the culvert and 25 men will be started on Monday, the number to be increased later. A proposal to plant an avenue of trees as a memorial to those men who fell in the war will be considered by the council while the work is progressing, said the Mayor yesterday, and if adopted, as he hoped it would be, only native trees, would be planted. Relatives would be given the opportunity of planting a tree and naming it. The suggestion, said Mr. Troup, came from Mrs. Matthew Holmes, president of the Women’s National Reserve, who had taken such an interest in the soldiers’ cemetery at Karori.
