VANDALISM IN WHANGAREI
We have learned that Din>ll l cc net of vandalism, tin* victim on tins oe.easion being a young pui-iri tree in one of Hie st reels of the (own. has occurred. some miscreants having eommitted this disgraceful destruction, in the early hours of yesterday morning. It is most discouraging that such damage should he done, for the destruction of a growing tree necessarily handi-
caps tlu 1 efforts that are being made to beautify the streets with avenues of trees. Some time ago complaints about vandalism in Mair Park and other beauty spots were common, but prosecutions of offenders had a good result. It is 10 be hoped iliai those who either wantonly or thoughtlessly destroy trees or shrubs Avill be dealt with by the authorities. It should be remembered by those who evidently do not possess civic pride that conduct of the hind we have mentioned comes within the scope of the Police Oltences Act.
