Trotting Club’s Probable £lO,OOO Expenditure Details of improvements in the vicinity of Hutt Park, on which the Wellington Trotting Club would probably be spending £lO,OOO in the next few years, were announced by Cr. IV. llornig. who is chairman of the Hutt Park Committee. at. last night's meeting of tiie Eastbourne Borough Council. Cr. llornig said that a new road would be formed op the seaward side of the Waiwhetu Stream adjacent, to the park, and the road which ran along tbe back of the park 11.. Ihe rear of the stands) would be taken into the park. This road was on park property. The new road would begin on the Eastbourne side of the bridge, a short distance up tiie eonercte stretch of road, and run alongside the Waiwhetu Stream to a point past the old bridge near the motor-camp section of the park. This latter bridge would be eliminated. The high iron fence at the rear of the park would be taken down and a fine concrete one erected on the new boundary. In all 14,000 yards of filling would be used on the area which was to be included in the park. The Lower Hutt Borough Council was contemplating continuing the new road past the bridge near the motor-camp entrance and connecting it up with Bell Road. This would provide a much better get-away for traffic from the park.
