RECREATION RESERVES
(To the Editor.) ■ ■ Sir,—l wish to compliment the Tawa Flat Progressive Association on its farseeing policy in endeavouring to procure for all time a recreation reserve. We know only too well of the shortsightedness of the past in regard to such matters and what, in many places sports bodies and such like are up against today. With the completing of the new railway system Tawa Flat is bound to grow rapidly and solidly as other places as far as Paekakariki May I suggest to the various ratepayers associations and county councuiors to take heed of what Tawa Flat is doing and try to secure now adequate reserves for such places as Plimmerton and Pukerua Bay. Probably land cpuld be secured now at a price per acre that will cost as much per foot a few years hence and suitable sites may not then be available. With the completion of the Paremata Bridge and new road and the new railway system it is surely not hard to-visualise a stur,dy growth for these two places, so why not get busy and 7° Jt ~ towards putting at least a football and cricket reserve on the map'before it is toolate.-I am, etc! ALL BLACK.
