TREES—THE OTHER SIDE
(To the Editor.)
Sir,—On this pleasant evening, as I look through the gums at the lovely calm harbour, I am filled with gratitude to the City Fathers who have had the gloomy pines removed. Now, not only is our view restored, but on a dull day our rooms are much lighter and consequently our spirits. Fitzherbert Terrace once had pine trees, aged indeed, and when they were removed there was an outcry. No one can deny that the green expanse, with flower-beds, ite a great improvement! In Grant Road, too, when some pine trees were removed some citizens objected, but the group of cherry trees planted there brightens the landscape. We shall see, in time to come, a green hillside dotted with flowering shrubs which will delight our eyes.—rl am, etc.,
KELBURN RESIDENT.
