WOODHAUGH GARDENS.
TO THE EDITOR. Sir,— Having an afternoon free for, my leisure just latelv, I strolled down, as far as the Woodhaugh Gardens to admire our truly beautiful grounds.About 3 p.m., there was a heavy, shower of rain, and I, along with aj number of others, sought shelter in the shelter shed, if it may boast ofi that name. If that shed had a roof, sides, and back on it, it would be quite waterproof, but as it is now, it would not keep rain off a fly’s hack. I felt genuinely sorry for the mothers with •their babies, who were trying to shelter under this huge sieve. Surely our, council could put a roof on the shed, oven if it -were only some manuka on brush, as there would be no expense in doing the last-named. There are far more people go picnicking to Woodhaugh than to the Botanical Gardens,yet the latter has both a shelter and a rest room, while the former haa neither.—l am, etc., A Mother.January 13.
