STANLEY AVENUE.
(To the Editor.) Sir, —Twelve months ago the residents of Stanley Avenue subscribed 20s each for,' a tree to be planted and a lawn to le laid in front of each section. A few months afterwards a party of min. duly arrived, dug holes, planted tries, drove stakes in the ground so hat the trees would not blow over, and then Stanley Avenue faded out or- sight of borough officialdom. So piffunctory was the work done that tip stakes in a good many instances wife broken over, trees began to withir and the lawns were not laid as jirortised, so that the street to-day presiijts the most forlorn appearanco of any street in Palmerston North —a mjo patchwork of borough enterprise.; If Stanley Avenue is a sample of tie! way the council carries out it 3 proiiises it is time a vigilante committee wis formed to inquire into and place Jnfore the public such examples of lorough inconsistency.—l am, etc., i STANLEY AVENUE. March 28, 1926.
