ONE-TREE HILL: A SUGGESTION.
TO THE EDITOR
Sir,—The road now being formed tlirouj, Cornwall Park at the cost of Sir John Camp j bell is approaching completion, and I hope will soon be opened to the public, with befitting cercmonv. cither by Sir John himself or bv His Excellency the governor. To mark the occasion, and to still further perpetuate tho memory of the generous donor of the park, I venture to suggest that the name of One-tree Hill be changed to Mount Campbell. Its present designation has really no special significance, descriptive or otherwise, and as most of the larger volcanic cones around Auckland bear the names of distinguished personages, it would be a graceful act, and in accord with the fitness of things, if the authorities would decree that the historic hill, the summit of which overlooks Sir John's magnificent gift to the citizens of Auckland, should henceforth bear his honoured name. am, etc., H. J. BLYTH.
Epsom, May 7, 1903.
