GIFT TO NATION
SITE FOR REST HOME. By Telegraph—Pres« Association. WELLINGTON, April 15. Seventy acres of land at Otaki, estimated to be worth several thousands of pounds, has been presented to the Government, for use as a site for a rest home, by Mr Byron Brown. The property, which possesses both beach and road access, embraces a forest of pines, and a considerable area of arable land. This handsome gift follows one of four acres recently made to the Government by Mr Byron Brown for the purposes of a children’s health camp. “ The estate is a very fine one,” said the Hon. G. W. Forbes, in referring to Mr Byron Brown’s handsome gift tonight. “It is worth some thousands of pounds, and I am of opinion that the gift is beyond all praise. I hope to see an institution established there in due course, of which New Zealand will be proud. Mr Byron Brown’s unstinted generosity will be widely appreciated.”
