Asked by a Dunedin "Star" reporter if he had taken notice during his trip of what cities are doing in the way of removing fences from small reserves, Mr. D. Tannock said: “Not very many of tho British citiee seem to havo had the courage to adopt the American plan, but I did observe some steps in that direction. For example, St. George’s Square, in Glasgow, now has all the railings removed from the front of the municipal buildings, and tho reesrve is quite open. The Glasgow people were no doubt led to this further experiment by noting that nothing disastrous happened as a result of there being no rails round the Art Gallery. Wherever the open space plan has been adopted it has proved satisfactory. I fully believe in it.’’ A block of granite, weighing two tons, was "caught” off the Kentish Knock by a Ramsgate trawler.
