TREE PLANTING AT WAIMATE
This year’s section of the Waimate Borough Council’s tree planting scheme at Knottingly Park has nov been completed, according to advice received yesterday from the Town Clerk (Mr B. S. Runciman). Several thousand young trees have been planted in areas at the northern end of the park, and the older trees which were removed and sold earlier this year, have been replaced.
Mr Runciman said that for several years the trees taken from the main section of the park were not replaced, but the council was now working on a scheme whereby all the trees which were cut out had their places filled by now trees.
To liquidate the' deficit in last year’s working and to provide sufficient revenue to cover the all-round increases in costs, as well as in wages, the rates levied in the Temuka Borough this year show an increase of slightly more than 25 per cent, on those levied last year. . 1
