MT. EGMONT.
AN ALPINE RESORT. PROPER DEVELOPMENT. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) NEW PLYMOUTH, Friday. As showing what local patriotism can do even in the present difficult times, the New Plymouth citizens have just raised 10,000 to take over, improve and develop the North Egmont mountain house. They have subscribed the money knowing that they will get no direct return and on the understanding that it will prove a good investment for the town. All the shaies were taken up in a week or two. It is intended to erect a large social hall and billiard room and install heating in the present buildings and bring the hostelry into line with the most, modern alpine resorts.
It is also proposed to put down tennis courts and provide other facilities for visitors to the mountain road which will shortly be re-made and tar sealed.
