TAHUNA BEACH

- GREAT XMI.SOX ASSET VISITOR'S IMPRESSION ’T" r.tip O! i > ' Sir. As a frequent visiter to Nelson 1 have had no hesitation in saying it is undoubtedly a beautiful residential city. Its climate, sunshine, and beauty spots are unequalled in New Zealand, but it could yet he math' mote attractive to tile many visitors to your town by impelling its numon us walks. beauty si'n!and reservis. and may I especially refer to your magnificent beach at In Imiia. where I think you have great pus rihilities of making this wonderful sandy beach play an important part in Nelson’s attractions and advanceineii 1 : here you have an extensive urea; and l would like to stress the point that ; t lends itself so well to being made it great asset to Nelson: Make it a gnat pleasure ground and healthy resort, where yn't have safe bathing which is patronised by thousands during the

son. Then why not have up-to-date bathin'; and refreshment aeeomniodatfun in keeping with such a magnihc' "t beach; also tenths carts. scats, nn<i at tractive shelter sheds in different pcs,lions about the sands. 1 was g,rally

■ riuk by the large picture erected ,t tlie entrance to the sands, "Tahona in five Years" : this picture seems to ;:i lieate how thi‘ h.‘itch could he transformed into a great pleasure ground; nut I wonder why "in five years.” u l.y not "now?" .Might 1 again stress tins question. I cannot understand \, l.y your I'itv Council and your citizens no not realise what a great asset the eis t ri; ! ]u ,-s. s:--' Sin 'l'ahnna Beach. IM i. y mind it is ;i great naiional |n sscssem. and it ought to he valued as Mich. No other city in New Zealand run I • ast of such ati extensive, sandy sea run, tage within such easy access and love. .•

Look at it fiom a business po'nt of view, look ;,i i: from a great health resort, and kisily look at it as a great pleasure ground for your own people; its position is great, being bandy to both count in :. id town residents, and eeriainly calls f n some immediate consideration of 'mpr.ivcmcid s.
