CHANGE OF NAME
PROPOSAL IN ONE TREE HILL DISTRICT MAUNGAKIEKIE OR CORNWALL That the name of the Borough of One Tree Hill should be changed to Maungakiekie or Cornwall was suggested at the final meeting last evening of the One Tree Hill Road Board district. As the name of One Tree Hill Borough Council would be too long, it was urged that the name of Cornwall would be very appropriate as the park had been formally presented by the present King when Duke of Cornwall and York. Mr. R. G. Clark, a member of the former road board since 193 8. suggested tlie name of the donor of the park, Sir John Logan Campbell. A motion that the changing of the name of the district be a recommendation to the incoming borough council was lost by a large majoritv. The title deed of Cornwall Park was formally presented in June. 3 903, by the present King—then Duke of Cornwall and York —on behalf of Dr. (afterward Sir John) Logan Campbell to the people of New Zealand as a public park. The park was opened in August, 1903. Cornwall* Park, which comprises 230 acres, includes part of the lower slopes of One Tree Hill, but does not embrace the summit, which is in the One Tree Hill Domain. The two parks, however, now form practically one large recreation ground.
