SAND REMOVAL

HISTORIC TREE THREATENED

Recently the Minister of Internal Affairs (Mr. Parry) appealed to local bodies and to the people generally to make strong. efforts to guard against the despoliation of sea beaches by the removal of sand. On his return to Wellington today Mr. Parry mentioned that while he was in Auckland a deputation had brought under his notice an instance of the effects of sand removal, as a result of which an historic old red gum tree at Orua Bay, Awhitu, was seriously threatened. It was pointed but by the deputation that the seed of the tree had been brought from Australia in 1836 by the Rev. James Hamlin and sown by him when he established the mission station in Orua Bay in that year, The deputation sought the co-operation of the Government with the Franklin County Council in efforts being made to save the tree. It was stated that the sand and earth already removed from the roots would make necessary the erection of a breastwork to save it. :..■.'

The Minister undertook to communicate the representations to the Franklin County. Council, which body he said he was sure would be helpful.
