.An area of between five and six acres of land, extending from Queen Street North to Oxford Street, has been offered free to the Alasterton Borough Council for utilisation as a camping and recreation ground by Mrs S. .Maw-ley, of Masterton. The area is to be known as the Mawley Memorial Recreation Reserve, and Mrs Alaw-ley has made a condition that the many beautiful native trees growing on the area are to be preserved. The ground presented to the town will lend itself admirably to development as a public reserve, and its acquisition will create new possibilities for beautifying the northern approach to Masterton. The suggestion has been made, that the area should be developed as a museum of native plants. The. native vegetation now on the area, it is pointed out, provides a splendid basis for such a scheme. ..
