MASTERTON PARK—A SUGGESTION.
[to the editor.!
Sir, —Apropos of a remark in your Saturday's issue respectiug luncheon parties iv the Park, may I observe that mauy of these people leave their litter where they lunch. If there is a by-law forbidding this untidy habit, it is constantly broken. If there is no by-law, one should be passed without delay. Iv the Botanical Gardens at Duuediu there are baskets hung on posts at convenient places, where people are enabled ancl expected to deposit their remnants aud rubbish. Now the Scotch are by uo means a tidy folk, but they beat us here. In tbe Sydney Parks the custodians compel picnickers to remove all their litter when they leave. May I further suggest that a very cheap and handy repository for rubbish is a kerosine tiu, with the top-cud removed, and a hinged wooden lid substituted. A convenient handle may be made by bending a stout iron wire, about two feet long, into three sides of an oblong, with the necessary hooks at the ends of it. —I am, etc., NEATNESS.
