SIGNAL HILL GORSE.
TO THE EDITOR. Sir, —May I suggest that one place on wnich the unemployed might profitably expend their energies is the ninety acres of land now covered with gorse on the summit of Signal Hill? A track lias been made through it by the Tramping Club, but the view from the trig, station is greatly obscured by the gorse growing all around it, and acres of good grazing land ae ruined by the useless shrub, which has been allowed to spread all over it. Tho view is one of the most extensive and beautiful which our city affords, and the walk through Opoho tothe summit is easy, but it is distressing to see nothing but a great area of gorse over good pasture land. It would give work to a number of men to grub out the gorse, and would improve one of the beauty, spots of our lovely city.—l am, etc,,Viator. May 3.
