CORRESPONDENCE CONDENSED
"J.D.8." draws attention to an act of vandalism which came under his notice. While passing the manuka trees on the Town Belt to the west of the cemetery, and on the town side of the Botanical Gardens, he noticed that six of the manukas had been shipped of their bark, which lay at the foot of the trees. This means, of coarse, that the trees will die. Our correspondent suggests that the various patrols of Boy Scouts should be ready to do their part to stop such practices' among the woodlands of this district. In many of the cities of the U.S.A. such is "the healthy state of public opinion in regard to natural beauty that the proprietors do not trouble to fence their private grounds. We in Dunedin have a long way to travel before we reach that ideal.
