TREE PLANTING
GETTING THERE GKADITALLY.
Though the City Council has not in latter years been able to spare a lumpsum for tree-planting, a little has been done each winter with the money available after other works have been attended to. Seven thousand young trees are being planted on the hills near John street, 4000 on the Town Belt on the southern side of the Constable street hill, 5000 on the Tinalcori Hills, as an addition to the now flourishing plantation set out a few years ago, and 1000 shrubs and shelter trees about the new croquet lawns at Hataitai. Two thousand pines and 200 pohutukawas are to be set out at Day's Bay this winter to replace tho growth burnt off by a fire last summer. The Forestry Department is supervising the work, carried out by the Prisons Department, of planting out another 20,000 pines at Point Halswell. This wili carry the plantation well towards tho point, and will practically complete the programme for this area.
