MEMORIAL PARK.

ANNUAL REPORT OF BOARD YEAR’S WORK REVIEWED . The annual report of the Soldiers’ Memorial Park Board (Inc.), to be presented at the annual general meeting to be held on Tuesday, May 29, at 8 pja., states:— il During the past year a further, area, on the south of the entrance gates, has been planted with shade and shelter trees. We again wish to express our thanks to the Masterton Beautifying Society their assistance in this respect. Unfortunately some of the trees are not suitable to the stony nature of the piece of land, and must be replaced with more salable varieties. “The ten new tennis courts adjacent to the Dixon Street frontage have' been completed. The board has supported the Memorial Tennis Club in an effort to get a suitable lease of. the courts direct from the Trust Lands Trustees, and this, wo believe, will eventuate. This would mean that in future wo would be relieved of all upkeep, etc., in respect of the tennis courts. WANTON DAMAGE “It is with regret that we have to that we are suffering considerable monetary loss and inconvenience through the wanton damage being done to our property, particularly in respect to the grandstand and appointments. This is due to larrikins, and the board proposes to take severe steps with anyone found da it aging the property, “We again wish to thank the Masterton Borough Council for writing off the r3.tes on our property, which has been of material assistance to us.
