Street Named After Chief
"The Press" Special Service WHANGAREI, April 22. The township of Mangonui is to have a street named after the central figure in an old tragedy—the Maori chief, Ranginui. Ranginui was kidnapped in 1769 by the French navigator, de Surville, who was a contemporary of Captain Cook. The Mangonui Couiity Council accepted the name, which was suggested by Dr. R. R. D. Milligan, who wrote that the street had been referred to as “Milligans road.” He did not know whether the council so intended to rename the former "flavells avenue”—if so he thanked it for the honour, but would much prefer the name to be Ranginui road.
