"KATHERINE AVENUE"
HONOUR OF NOVELIST STREET IN WELLINGTON A new street constructed in connection with the subdivision of property at Fitzherbert Terrace, Wellington, is likely to be named Katherine Avenue. It was mentioned at the la,st meeting of the City Council that this was in honour of Katherine Mansfield, the novelist, daughter of Sir Harold Beauchamp. It was stated that the suggestion had been made that the street should be called after Sir William Fox —a prominent New Zealand Company leader, one of Wellington's "three F's" and four times Premier—hut it was considered that Katherine Mansfield was much more widely known, and had indeed mado New Zealand famous. "She is much more entitled, to the honour than the directors of the New Zealand Company, for all they did for the city," said Mr. M. F. Luckie. It was pointed out that the new road almost went "through the property on which Katherine Mansfield had resided, and was near tbe school she attended.
