‘(i LGANTIO FOAVL RUN.' ’
CHRISTCHURCH ‘FROM THE AIR, CHRISTCHURCH, May 28. “With every street a maze of electric light and telephone wires, Christchurch from the air must look like a gigantic, fowl run,” said a member at a meeting of the Suburban Beautifying Association. “Each house is tied to a pole either by tele phono wires or for lighting current. Across tho street are tram wires and strainers.
Another disfiguring feature of our streets is the six-foot fences. As (well as being unsightly, they are a danger to tho occupier. All the rebout burglaries have been comm tte-l behind high fences. No one with an open low fence has suffered. Townplanning committees should not allowed unsightly fences.”
It was decided to seek tne cooperation of tho City Council on tho subject.
