HAMILTON DOMAIN
MEMORIAL TO FORMER CHAIRMAN OPENING OF ARCHWAY From Our Own Correspondent HAMILTON. Thursday. A memorial archway to the late MArtliur Swarbrick, for many ye*r s chairman of the Hamilton Domain Board, was opened by the Mayor, M r J. R. Fow, today, at the entrance )» the lake reserve. The Mayor paid a tribute to tl, memory of Mr. Swarbrick, and saj
an open gateway was an eiiduritg tribute to the far-sightedness of fi, e first chairman of the board, at u, j present constituted. The archwar, he said, was most appropriate. j t was not a barrier, but an open door, au abundant entrance to the town's health-giving, pleasure-providing p, ls . session. Mr. F. A. Swarbrick acknowledged the tribute paid to the memory of his father. He said it was very fitthg indeed that the structure should be placed at the lake entrance to hi s memory. During the last few months of his father’s life one of his most constant thoughts was how to provide a fitting entrance to the Lake Domain. Mr. Fow then severed the ribbon across the entrance and declared the memorial arch open. The South Auckland Pipe Band, which formed a gus.rd of honour, then played two selections, and the public filed beneath the arch. Two marble slabs will be affiied to the panels above the two pedestrian entrances. One slab bears the in. scription: “This entrance is dedicated to the memory of the late Arthur Swarbrick.” The other reads: “Chairman, Hamilton Domain Board, 1913-1921, 1925-1927. If you seek a further monument, look within.”
