Pigs In The Park
Strollers in Dobbic’s Park yesterday came upon a herd of nine pigs, of varying ages, all of which were engaged in the same pursuit—rooting about for food under the roots of trees and native shrubs.
Over a long period, a considerable amount of damage has been done in this public park by pigs, and, although the matter has been brought under the notice of the borough council, it is stated, nothing has been done to prevent inroads of the straying animals or to repair an inadequate boundary fence. One .gentleman, who feels rather strongly on the matter, suggested that aspirants for municipal office should state whether, if elected, they will favour the park being used for the growth of native trees or the running of pigs.
