COX'S CREEK.

'Sir-Fowr months mj>g*m de fr : tion, headed by Mr. J. S. Fleteher, &P. for Grey Lynn, presented to the ;WffCouncil a petition signed by a thocsmjd, ratepayers. putting before them a ■ to clean up Cc**s Creek by making r boat harbour and playing areas for all, kinds of sport. The- deputation was represented by a band of sound business men and a scheme was propounded by wM* the work could be done by dredging ud filling in the inner portion, which would eventually become a paying concern fa the city. This scheme was estimated to give work to a hundred unemployed mm. Although it had been gone into careW by men who had. the knowledge,. *W deputation apparently carried no weigh* It was told that "nothing could bo.*W« as uo money was available. In'spite el this, I sqe by th'« papers that the M. Mary's Bond scheme has been started by the City Council. Surely the cleaning «P pf Cox's Creek should come before a road to St. Mary's beat harbour. The distill* is thickly populated and has been wilfully neglected for years. Why not apply Mfflf of the monev available through the ployment scheme to put this work'* hand, before the hot summer is upon as.. It would be a wonderful asset for the city* Nil. DEBPERANMJir. % .
