SUMNER BEACH.

TO THIS EDITOR OP THE PRESS Sir,— an' ardent lover of Sumner since my childhood days I am writing with the h(\>e of stirring up some local saviour of Sumner to step to the fore and endeavour to stop what I consider the greatest piece of vandalism in the history of Canterbury. "Lavatory Square" in my opinion would have been, a pleasant sight compared with what the end of Sumner beach is at present. Has Sumner no large-hearted and farseeing resident with sufficient civic pride and moral courage to lodge/ an injunjtion against the Mayor and Councillors to restrain them from further ruining the beauty of the beach? One of your correspondents refers to the devastation as not unlike the Sahara desert, and, viewed on Saturday afternoon last, it certainly looked like what one would imagine the Sahara is at its

worst. Those sandhills which these men are so blithely levelling took Nature years to put there, and Councils in the past have spent large sums of money planting and beautifying them. Now a Council supposed to represent the public orcers their demolition. It would appear as though an injunction is the only means of obtaining-a stay of proceedings, and to enable this _ to be done funds would have to be subscribed to defray the legal expenses which would necessarily be incurred. A canvass of the borough and visitors to Sumner would, I think, solve this question.—Yours, etc., A LOVBR OF SUMNEE. March 7tlr, 1932.
