Bourn, J. Crichton, W. Surridge, W. G. Clark and J. Siegert. DAMAGE AT DOMAIN It has been reported to the Domain Board that damage has recently been done to trees, and other property in the Domain. Trees have been broken, and even the tree recently planted by his Excellency, Sir Cyril Ncwall. has been interfered with. Boys are suspected as being responsible and a warning has been issued that drastic action will be taken against any person causing damage.

The Domain at present is in very fine order and is used during the warm weather by many people who find much pleasure in the cool surroundings. Wanton damage such as has frequently taken place there is resented very much by residents who are interested in this beauty spot of the township.
