SCHEME TO .IMPROVE IT BY Telegraph.—Press association. New Plymouth, November 26. As showing what local patriotism can do even in the present difficult times, New Plymouth citizens have just raised £lO,OOO to take over, improve and develop the North Egmont Mountain House. They have subscribed the money, knowing they will get no direct return and on the understanding it will prove a good investment for the town. All the shares were taken up in a week or two. It is intended to erect a large social hall and billiard room and instal heating in the present buildings and bring the hostel 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. The road to the mountain will shortly be remade and ta --sealed.
