OBSERVATION BUSES.

tO THE EDITOR.

Sir, —Now that good weather has set in it would pay the observation cars to make special trips to Flagstaff Hill, where one of the most beautiful panoramic views can be seen about Dunedin. One can see thirty or forty miles north, south, east, and west, with Dunedin and the Taieri Plain lying at one’s feet, and on a clear day can see the Nuggets. There is plenty oflvater and wood near the top to boil the billy with. Of course, yon cannot take the car to the top. Pull up on the long ridge at the junction of roads, and a quarter of an hour will take one to the top; turn in at the big swing gate. Another beauty spot, Fraser’s Gully, can be reached by Rattray street cable car; with its beautiful native bush and sheltered position it is a picturesque spot, and will only cost one 3d by cable car, and if one wishes can have a duck in the corporation baths on the road going up the 1 valley. There is plenty of good water, firewood, and stone fireplaces for picnickers. I think that the City Council should “ boosa . yioth of tlies© places; it would give immense pleasure to the people and also to visitors and tourists. Wake up, for goodness sake.—l am, etc., Protege.
