By Telegraph.—Press Association.
Wellington, January 28. “Our cemeteries in nine out of ten cases are a disgrace to New Zealand,’ eaid Mr. D. Tannock, superintendent of parks and reserves in Dunedin, at the conference of park superintendents. Mr. Tannock argued that too little attention was given to the city cemeteries which, could, with a little forethought to layout and planting be mads beauty spots of great aesthetic value. Delegates agreed that, given encouragement and money, there was no reason why cemeteries should not be beautified to a greater extent than at pre-* sent.
