MOUNT HOBSON SLOPE.
Sir.— m the cloister-like serenity of ie Cathedral City of the South I received a parcel of Auckland newspapers I could not help asking querrulousiy with the psalmist, "Why do the heathen so furiously rage together? And why do the people imagine a vain thing'" I returned answer to myself: The heathen and the Huns are out for booty and some people are imagining vainly they can steal a park honestly by Act of Parliawn£ ln t ette ? written by the Rev. W. Beatty, he quotes me as saying- "ThA chairman of the Dilworth Trust indicates that the majority of the trustees will go to Parliament for power;" and he ! adds "This is an unwarrantable deduction from my statement." May I quote his statement as it appeared in your issue PI ?L ? L The . üblic may rest assured that the majority of members of the board will not be in favour of any sale of property which would interfere with the slope in question. Parliamentary authority will have to be obtained before we can accede to the request of the Town-Planning League." I am quite content to allow the . public to judge whether my deduction was an unwarrantable one. _ With your permission I hope to deal with the great principle lying behind this issue at a later date. George MacMttbray.
