One great disadvantage at Ahipara lies in the absence of any kind of shelter, and the same thing applies on that part of the beach .approached from Waipapakauri. Not the slightest attempt has been made so far to plant any trees, and this is a matter which could well be taken up by the County Council and Town Board. It is time something was done to develop the natural assets the people have in their beaches. Presbyterian Church.
