;THE IMPROVEMENT OF MAN : V ■; CHESTER SQUARE. / 1O TIIK KDITiiK OF THK.STA'a. ' Sin,— Spine time ago the ' Borough Council passed a resolution .to do certain •work on Manchester Square, with a view, as they considered, to its improvement. ,A public meeting was called, and the bur.jresses by a larjje. majority voted against the scheme. The leaders in the opposition movement, suggested that any hn-proveuieiiS-to the Square .should take the form of suitably fencing and planting it, and it was understood that if this were done it would be assisted by private subscriptions. Now, in other places they have tf Arbor Days," when generally a public holiday is held, and the day is spent in - planting opeu spaces about the respective ■'townships', the labor, and 'hi; most cases the trees, for' the ; greater part, at least, teirig willingly given. Gould riot some- ' thing of the sort, be done here ? The planting season will soon arrive, and I feel sure that if the; matter were taken up in earnest, the project would be success fully carried out. -I would suggest that a public meeting;: be ■■; called .at; an early date to disyuss the subject, and if approved of to appoint i a committee for carrying out the moyement.-j-rl am, &c, 1 • -.■ •':' : : •■'■• : "*. v ?
