PRESERVE THE BEAUTY SPOTS
10 llllj EDITOR. Sir,— Under the above heading 1 might ask a ouestion, "What is tlie> good of expecting those in authority to preserve nature when they allow the really beautiful fern gully that ivao originally ut the head of Sydney-etveet to be destroyed?" A few years- ago the - beautiful gully with lovely troe ferns was wantonly destroyed, and Anderson Park, at an <>normou* expense, formed. It has been of no me, and I am certain no ornament since. The scarred hillside. i» tin eyesore. 1 cannot understand the idea of cutting down the hillside, levelling it and then leaving it. It occurred to mo on looking at it lately that it' tho hill wut> terraced -from bottom to top, and tho facings turfed, and the spoil lued in tilling up the gully on the south-east of the hillside, it wouM be a grcut improvement. Tho ground could then bo used for different games and tho hillside for bpectators. I commend this suggestion to the authorities.— < I am, etc., 12th April. W. WILLS.
