GORSE.
? A correspondent a few days ago drew attention in our columns to the manner in which gorse is being permitted to spread over the town belt reserve. The matter is one which certainly deservas the prompt attention of the Civic authorities. All along the side of Mount Victoria, and in other places as well, great fields of gorse are growing up, and, if not removed, they will soon constitute a serious danger to the city. Already there have been one or two alarms from gorse fires. We do not know whether the town belt leases contain any provision compelling the tenants to keep down the gorse. If they do, then these provisions should be strictly enforced. If they do not, then the City Council shonld itself undertake the work. A large portion of the town belt will soon be worse than useless, if something is not soon done, and the work is essentially one in which a stitch in time will save nine.
