CAVERSHAM BUSH.

TO THE EDITOR. Sir, —As a visitor to your fair city about the beginning of. December, I would like to express my appreciation of your Botanic Gardens. Mr Tannock had them looking beautiful, and the perfume as one walked along the well-kept paths was delightful. I took a walk one morning over Caversham railway bridge, and found myself on a path that had just been recently made. I followed it out of curiosity, and it led me for a mile up a very steep and tortuous well-formed path right round a beautiful hit of native bush. X came across about half a dozen men -working on the path. I must say they were working well, and they were getting very large stones that were obstructing rheir progress out of the road. Some of these stones were ‘ about half a ton -in weight. I made inquiries, and iound the men were relief workers under a reserve foreman. These men deserve credit for that job. especially for t'ne culverts they put in and the channel they made right around the whole track, also the rustic bridges thev constructed out of trees that were in the way of the path. These bridges are nude strong and durable. One could see where they had to fill in large gullies with clay and sand and use all the stone they had been getting for walls across these gullies. It mist have been strenuous work wheeling the sand and ashes up and clown this very steep hill. I want to give credit to Mr Morris and his able assistants for that work, riot forgetting Mr Tannock and Mr Reid for seeing that it was a very necessary job and putting it in able hands.—l am, etc., Magnum Bonum.
