MEMORIAL TO MAORI RACE
I An obelisk of stone 100 feet high is being erected on the summit of One Tree Hill, one of the many small volcanic cones on the outskirts of Auckland, New Zealand. It is a memorial to the Maori race, the original inhabitants of the country. There will be a statue in bronze of a Maori at the north side of the base of the obelisk. It is expected that the monument will be ready for unveiling on January 28, 1940, as one of a series of gatherings in which the Maoris will celebrate the 100th year of British sovereignty.
