A letter was received from the Bay' of Plenty Maori and Historical Research Society recently by the Whakatane Borough Council, emphasising that few Maori words of beauty or of historical significance were employed in the naming of streets in Whaka; tane. The society urged that, when the time came to name the dedicated roads on the Hillcrest estate, opportunity should be taken of the many Maori names suggesting themselves. The council agreed to the society’s proposals, and will keep the suggestion in view when naming streets within the borough.
