RESERVE AT HAMILTON
PROMISING BUSH AREA SUGGESTION FOR RENAMING [from our own correspondent] HAMILTON, Thursday The renaming of Jubilee Park, a forestry reserve adjoining the Claudelands Showgrounds, was considered at a meeting last evening of the Hamilton Beautifying Society. A committee which had been set up at a previous meeting to inspect the park reported that the area contained some fine specimens of swamp forestry. If it were well cared for and planted with various kinds of trees, it would make a beautiful bush. There -were already sufficient pathways, and when the public became better acquainted with the reserve it would make a popular scenic spot. It was decided to recommend to the Hamilton Borough Council that the area be called Hukunui Bush, as the district was once known as Hukunui and a road of the same name bounded one side of the area.
