Revell, D. ‘McMahon, A. D. Macdonald and A. H. Caudwell. Through unfortunate circumtsances the president (Mr C. Andrew) and the secretary (Mr T. Venables) were absent.
An objection was made by Mr T. Stanley at the Chamber of Commerce meeting on Tuesday to the planting of trees and shrubs along the 15ft. footpath in Lipsey-street and Ken-rick-street. “When I was on the council, we went to considerable expense in widening that footpath for the use of excursionists who come to Te Aroha, and now the street is being narrowed again as a result of the planting of trees,” said Mr Stanley. Pie then asked who was responsible. Mr Coulter said the Borough Council was responsible, not the Beautifying Society. All but one of the trees, however, had died, and it now rested with the Council whether they replanted them on the footpath or not. Mr Coulter said, as far as he personally was concerned, he was never enthusiastic about trees being planted on the footpath.
